​Windmill is an open source developer platform and workflow engine that transforms scripts into auto-generated UIs, APIs, and cron jobs, enabling the composition of workflows or data pipelines for building complex, data-intensive applications with ease. Supporting various languages, Windmill allows users to write and deploy software up to ten times faster, operating with high reliability and observability on a self-hostable job orchestrator. It features auto-generated user interfaces based on script parameters, a low-code app editor for creating custom UIs, and a flow editor for constructing workflows using a drag-and-drop interface. Windmill manages dependencies automatically, offers robust permissioning and monitoring, and provides various triggers including webhooks, schedules, CLI, Slack, and emails. Users can develop scripts locally with their preferred code editors, preview them, and deploy using the CLI.
