How's this going to be monetized? What sort of execution limits are there?

#12It looks like an interesting alternative to Zapier (or its open source counterpart n8n [1]).
As a potential user, before even trying the tool I'd like to know how are you planning to monetize it. Free sounds awesome, but you'll get to a point where it costs you actual money to keep all this working. I don't want to waste my time creating pipelines in a tool that won't exist in a year or two -or that will become paid and break my existing workflows (or make me expend money unexpectedly)-.

We believe anyone should be able to run simple, low-volume workflows at no cost, sharing their workflows with the public so everyone benefits from the work of others. We also want to foster a positive community where people feel good about sharing their work and where everyone can learn from one another.
In the future, we may offer features available on paid tiers which would be logical enterprise features such as single sign on (SSO), team collaboration and higher SLAs and throughput.
The constraints are listed in our docs - https://docs.pipedream.com/pricing/

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

#20The usual question, how they monetize the service?
It's answered here[1], along with limitations[2]:
- 100kb max body-size.
- Rate-limit at 10 requests per second
- 10 seconds per execution for HTTP triggers, and 30 seconds for cron triggers
- 192 MB of memory for your code and libraries during workflow execution
- 512 MB of disk in the /tmp directory.
