Pipedream
Developer-focused integration platform where workflows are written in Node.js, Python or other languages and run as serverless functions.
Overview
Pipedream lets developers write Node.js, Python, Go or Bash code to connect APIs, transform data and trigger actions, with each step running as a managed serverless function. Workflows fire on HTTP requests, schedules, email or event-based triggers from connected apps. A large library of pre-built actions reduces boilerplate for common integrations, and code steps handle anything the library does not cover. Pipedream suits developers who want code-level control over integrations without building or maintaining the server infrastructure to run them.
