Companies & Work
Windmill
Windmill is an open-source developer platform that turns scripts into workflows, internal tools, and full-stack apps.
Write scripts in Python, TypeScript, Go, Bash, Rust, SQL - Windmill auto-generates UIs from their parameters, handles dependencies, credentials, permissions, and scheduling so you focus on business logic, not infra.
Open-source alternative to Airflow, Temporal, Retool and n8n. Chain scripts into flows with branching, parallelism, retries. Build dashboards with the app builder. Trigger via cron, webhook, or UI. All-in-one runtime, editor, secret manager, and OAuth platform - enterprise-ready out of the box.
Stack: Rust / TypeScript + Svelte / PostgreSQL. Self-hostable, easy to deploy, built for performance and DX.
