+
+* Usecase
+
+Conductor is built to serve as a development stack launcher and task manager. It is useful when a development stack contains several parts. For instance: A frontend development web server, a backend api server, and supporting services. These can all be launched at once and their outputs aggrigated.
+
+Conductor also has a robust tasking system allowing utility tasks to be defined and run. This is useful for build or setup operations related to development. Such as: Database migrations, local builds, testing across the entire stack, etc.

+A Conductor binary is provided for 64 bit linux based systems.
