Co-founder here. We have been heads down working Pipedream for the past 9 months and are excited to share our beta with you.

Pipedream is an integration platform built for developers. Develop any workflow, based on any trigger with authentication management built-in and no server or cloud resources to manage.

Workflows are code, which you can run for free.

The beta version includes the ability to:

- Run any Node code, or use pre-built actions

- Trigger workflows via HTTP, Cron, integrated apps or email

- Create, share, and fork workflows from the community and

- Send data to S3, Snowflake, email, SSE, and more.

Coming soon — Develop locally and deploy workflows via CLI, SDK, and more.

We think there’s a lot we can improve and are eager for feedback so please send us your ideas and opinions. Also, if you want a specific app or API fully integrated, let us know.

I do not feel that this is the best article to sell me on your product. It compensates for trying to describe a rock solid use case with a lot of links to other things with limited context (that are probably brilliant if you knew that context). If I wanted to watch a 15 minute video I would watch that instead. I feel like your pipedream.com landing page does a better job describing why I want to use your product.

I wish this article was a more digestible single case as an introduction that showed value rather than saying 'you can run anything!!! for free!!!'

Hi, Pipedream founder here. I appreciate the honest feedback.

The post is meant to articulate the depth of our vision for the platform. The hope was the linked workflows provide some inspiration and examples to make Pipedream a little more concrete. I'm glad the homepage resonated with you.

Did you get a chance to sign up and use the tool? We're looking for specific feedback from devs on how we can improve so I'd love if you had any time to build a workflow and share your thoughts.

It's more standard for a Show HN to link to the home page and then include a link to the article in the thread. We'll put that above.

If I can run workflows for free, how are you making money?

Sounds like a tool for devops. As a developer I would rather do extra work but on a mainstream cloud using a favourite language. Then again I am not in start-ups.
