Orkestra is a cloud based deployment and automation platform developed by Orkestra for teams working in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. Its purpose is to deploy, manage, and run computational design and automation content, specifically Dynamo, Grasshopper, and OkPy (Python) content, across widely used AEC applications, including Autodesk Revit, Civil 3D, and Rhino. By centralizing this content in the cloud, the platform allows organizations to standardize how scripts and definitions are distributed and executed, removing the need for manual installation and version tracking on individual workstations. The software fits within the deployment and automation solution category for computational design workflows, serving use cases such as distributing visual programming and Python tools to project teams, maintaining consistent packages and dependencies, and orchestrating automated tasks across multiple models or files. Key capabilities include centralized workspaces that organize content and access for teams, package management to keep shared resources aligned and up to date, batch runs for executing content at scale, playlists for sequencing multiple operations, and analytics that provide insight into how content is used across the organization. These features make Orkestra relevant for BIM managers, computational designers, and technology leads who need governance, visibility, and repeatability over distributed automation assets in Revit, Civil 3D, and Rhino environments. The current cataloged version of Orkestra is 2.4.0.13, and the catalog records two versions of the software overall, indicating an actively maintained product line with more than one release available for reference. In summary, Orkestra functions as a single cloud based hub through which AEC teams can deploy and automate Dynamo, Grasshopper, and Python workflows while monitoring adoption and performance through built in analytics.
