What is Windmill?

Windmill offers open-source infrastructure designed to streamline the development of internal tools such as APIs, background jobs, workflows, and even UIs. Think of it as a self-hostable alternative to platforms like Airplane, Pipedream, and Superblocks – it even takes a page from Temporal's book by making UI generation a breeze. Windmill transforms your scripts into ready-to-share UIs, allowing you to easily create internal apps or assemble those scripts into larger workflows. Whether you prefer Python, TypeScript, Go, Bash, SQL, or GraphQL, Windmill has you covered. Compared to heavyweights like Airflow, Prefect, and Temporal, Windmill emerges as a top performer, especially when handling a multitude of lightweight tasks or extended, resource-intensive operations.
