Show HN: Pipedream 2.0 – AWS Lambda + Zapier alternative

Hey HN! Pipedream is an integration and compute platform purpose-built for developers building workflows and connecting cloud services.

You can author workflows without writing any code: Pipedream supports over 700 integrated applications (GitHub, Slack, etc) [1] and all connectors are open source [2]. In addition, you can write any Node.js, Python, Go, or Bash code within workflows, extending the pre-built integrations with your own custom logic.

Since we launched Pipedream on HN [3], over 300k developers have used the product. Pipedream developers tell us consistently that they love the code-level control when they need it, and the built-in, no code integrations when they don't. But we’ve also heard consistent feedback that the product needed to be easier to use, support more language runtimes, and provide a native Git integration.

In Pipedream v2, we have re-imagined the entire product and key features, including:

- Multi-language support including Node, Python, Golang, and Bash - Data Stores to store and retrieve data across steps & workflows - Open source triggers and actions for 700+ applications - Improved workflow builder to test and iterate without impacting live workflows - Multiple triggers are now supported per workflow - Improved forms and testing for rapid step-by-step development

We’re working on a GitHub integration now, which will let you manage workflow definitions as code. You can still use the Pipedream UI to author workflows, and use Pipedream’s pre-built integration components to build integrations, but you’ll be able to serialize those workflows to code. Think Terraform or CDK for app integrations. You can sign up for our waitlist below. [4]

My cofounder @dylburger and I will be here to answer any questions.

Used this for a project recently - made things remarkably easier than writing all the code myself.

Congrats on the 2.0 release! Python support and the key/value store is super cool to see.

Recently used Pipedream very successfully on a freelance gig to create a search widget powered by a client-editable Airtable base that auto-feeds into an Algolia index.

I'm excited to play around with v2, have been promoting Pipedream in my little Discord community of scrappy devs. Best wishes on your continued success.

@davidfactorial, curious to hear more about your Discord! I'm a scrappy dev myself :)

David - we often use the phrase "code when you need it and no code when you don't." obviously that is easier said than done but we do see tremendous power in a platform that allows you to write a small amount of arbitrary code while having access to an entire registry of thousands of pre-built integrations.
