Windmill

Windmill is an open-source platform for building and deploying scripts, workflows, and UIs, accelerating software development and improving reliability.

Description

Windmill is an open-source developer platform and workflow engine that empowers users to transform scripts into auto-generated UIs, APIs, and cron jobs. It facilitates the composition of these elements into workflows or data pipelines, simplifying the development of complex, data-intensive applications. Windmill significantly accelerates software development, enabling teams to write and deploy code up to ten times faster while ensuring high reliability and observability. Its self-hostable architecture and support for multiple programming languages (Python, TypeScript, Go, PHP, Bash, SQL) make it a versatile and efficient tool for diverse development needs. Windmill is backed by Y Combinator and trusted by thousands of organizations.

Features

Windmill offers a comprehensive suite of features, including support for multiple programming languages (Python, TypeScript, Go, PHP, Bash, and SQL), automatic UI generation for scripts and flows, a low-code app builder, workflow orchestration capabilities, robust scheduling and triggering mechanisms (webhooks, schedules, CLI), integrated secret management, detailed logging and monitoring, support for large-scale deployments (Kubernetes, ECS, Docker Compose), and granular role-based access control (RBAC). It also provides features such as built-in diff viewers, GitHub/GitLab integration, and extensive documentation to support efficient development and deployment.

Benefits

Increased development speed (up to 10x faster), improved reliability and observability, simplified development of complex applications, easy integration with existing tools and workflows, support for multiple programming languages, reduced infrastructure sprawl, efficient handling of long-running background jobs, enhanced collaboration and code review capabilities, robust security and permissions, and scalability to support a wide range of workloads.
