Windmill
Windmill
Windmill is an open-source workflow engine and developer platform that lets teams turn scripts into scalable UIs, APIs, and scheduled jobs—without managing complex infrastructure. Built for speed, extensibility, and automation, it streamlines how developers ship internal tools and workflows at scale.
Solving Key Frictions
Siloed internal tools: Windmill unifies workflows into maintainable, versioned scripts with UI auto-generation
Developer bottlenecks: Non-technical teams can trigger flows via secure, user-friendly interfaces
Infrastructure overhead: No need to provision servers or manage orchestration manually
Workflow rigidity: Modular logic supports dynamic forms, conditional paths, and multi-step flows
Fragmented execution: Integrated scheduling, secrets management, and webhooks centralize automation
Developer-Centric Workflow Automation
At the core of Windmill is a developer-native experience: write scripts in Python, TypeScript, Go, Bash, or SQL, and the platform turns them into instantly usable interfaces or endpoints. Teams can compose these into flows, execute them manually or on schedule, and share them via secure links or embedded apps.
Scalable and Extensible
Windmill scales from a single task to thousands of concurrent workflows, powered by Kubernetes-native deployment. It supports secret rotation, user authentication, and RBAC out of the box—making it viable for production-grade enterprise use cases without third-party complexity.
No-Code Interfaces, Code-First Logic
Every script generates a dynamic UI based on its schema. You can expose it to internal users without coding frontends or building dashboards manually. This enables product ops, support, and data teams to use powerful scripts without engineering dependencies.
ROI and Business Impact
Windmill increases engineering leverage and reduces time-to-solution for internal tools and automations.
Key ROI impacts include:
Reduced dev time building dashboards and ops interfaces
Fewer support requests thanks to self-serve tooling
Faster deployment of workflows without provisioning overhead
Lower infrastructure costs via optimized concurrency and scheduling
Enhanced security and auditability for internal logic
Operational Efficiency for Teams
Windmill centralizes automation under one control plane. From real-time logs and audit trails to Slack and GitHub integrations, teams gain full visibility and control without switching contexts or building redundant infrastructure.
Key Features
Script-to-UI conversion in Python, TypeScript, Go, Bash, SQL
Drag-and-drop flow builder for multi-step workflows
Scheduling, webhooks, and trigger-based automation
