Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for executing a sequence of tasks are provided. An analytics engine receives a request to execute a group of tasks, where tasks execute in different programming languages. A sequence for executing the tasks in the group of tasks is determined using the input and output parameters of the tasks. The tasks are executed according to a determined sequence. To execute each task, the analytics engine instantiates a process that corresponds to programming language associated with the tasks. The process executes the task. Once all tasks complete execution, an output of the last task is a result of the group of tasks.
