Windmill is a modern, open-source developer platform designed to streamline the creation of internal stacks and workflows. The platform features a robust script system that can be triggered through various methods, including UI, webhooks, and schedules. Scripts, which are the foundation of Windmill, support multiple programming languages such as TypeScript, Python, Go, and SQL variants. The platform focuses on simplifying the business logic by handling dependencies and UI components, enabling developers to concentrate on core functionalities.
Windmill’s flows allow the composition of scripts into complex workflows. Each step in a flow can be coded in different languages, and the platform provides a local builder for creating Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs). Flows support integration with various services and APIs, including Slack, enabling automated interactions. Windmill also leverages AI to generate and optimize scripts, reducing the need for boilerplate code and speeding up development. The platform’s web IDE and VS Code integration facilitate quick iteration and testing, ensuring efficient workflow management.
