The Brief

What Windmill Dev does

Windmill is a code-first orchestration platform for building internal software, and it is open source and easy to self-host. Scripts become API endpoints and forms, with support for TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Bash, SQL, PHP, and C#. Workflows are DAG-based step graphs, and each script and flow gets an autogenerated webhook. Auto-generated UIs come from script parameters, with a low-code app editor available. Other named features include AI sessions, an MCP server, a CLI, Git sync with staging and production forks, run history and audit logs, and worker groups that scale from a single node to Kubernetes clusters. Enterprise features include SAML and SCIM, approval steps in workflows, and SOC 2 Type II compliance. Integrations named include Stripe, Slack, Snowflake, HubSpot, PostgreSQL, and GitHub. Pricing is not stated.
