Does Airplane do Windmill, but closed source?

• rubenfiszel 4y ago
  To give them credits, Airplane was first. But we have very different ambitions imho. We have open-sourced our flow spec: https://openflow.dev https://openflow.dev and have a larger vision of becoming a standard for orchestration as established as Airflow or Temporal but simplified and principled, which is completely out-of-scope for a proprietary product.

  At a high-level, yes - the "scripts to apps / workflwos" tagline that Windmill advertises on their homepage is something Airplane does as well. That was what we initially launched with about a year ago. We also now support the ability to create more complex UIs in Airplane as well. So for example, if you wanted to create an admin panel / customer dashboard at your company that has the following functionality, you could do all of this in Airplane: * Display customer data that's retrieved from a SQL query or REST endpoint * Allow users to select customers and view more details about their usage * Have a button next to each customer that says "delete customer" which kicks off a Python script that deletes that customer's data
