I wish the workflow engine itself was open source too as it would be a better alternative to n8n.

#12Congrats 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.
Thank you for mentioning algolia. Big fan (and users) of both and you just gave me an idea...

I hear you! We're tracking this in a couple of issues:
1. We plan to publish an execution environment (as a container) that simulates the core Pipedream runtime. You could run this locally or as a container on whatever container service you'd like. 2. We get a lot of requests for a fully-self-hosted / open-source version, and we're considering how to approach that as well.
Please follow the issues below, and let us know if you have any more feedback!

#14Got the email so I must have signed up before. Demo video looks awesome! Just some feedback, when I visited the site on my mobile, I scrolled down, and it scrolled horizontally with weird widths, which made it feel not tested on mobile, plus the menu hamburger didn’t work, so I couldn’t find the pricing, and it made me reconsider whether I’d rely on this in production. For reference, I’m on iOS Firefox (which is basically safari).

Cool. Hope it comes to fruition.
My other pipedream in addition to this would be multi tenancy (including integrations).
A perfect world scenario is a drop in multi tenant zapier alternative that enables SaaS providers to either create workflows for their users so all they need to do is authenticate integrations for the most part or allow for them to build their own workflows from scratch.
I realize this is probably out of scope of the services aim but it doesn't hurt to throw it out there since all of the alternatives that exist are sorely lacking in various ways.

We are shipping a fix for this right now! Really glad you noted this. Will let you know when it's out.

The fix for the broken hamburger menu on mobile should be out, thanks again for raising.

Could you use OpenFAAS as an execution environment for the integrations/functions? This would allow you to run this without Lambda as well.

We hear this a lot from devs and we do plan to tackle it. I was building productivity tools (mostly for Gmail / Google Calendar) at my last startup and would have loved to have Pipedream manage OAuth / token refresh, kick off workflows on behalf of my users, etc.

Yes we're thinking a lot about this. The vision would be let you execute workflows on whatever function runtime you use. So you'd have one definition of a workflow on Pipedream, but that could be serialized to e.g. a Google Cloud Function, an OpenFAAS function, etc. And you'd get to run it in your own VPC, with access to your own internal resources, without relying on Pipedream's infra.
Still in the idea phase, but let me know if that resonates.
