# Kestra
> Open-source data orchestration and scheduling platform for building ETL pipelines. It integrates with MotherDuck for scheduling DuckDB and MotherDuck tasks in repeatable data workflows.
## How it works with MotherDuck

1. Create a task, DAG, flow, or job in Kestra that runs a DuckDB or MotherDuck step.
2. Store the MotherDuck token in the orchestrator's secret manager.
3. Use a small validation query before scheduling larger ingestion, transformation, or export jobs.
