You can even self-host with SSO for 7 people. The SSO is free up to 10ppl. You will never have to pay if you do not want to. We believe there are many reasons to start using Windmill and most of them are not worth monetizing by themselves b

because 95% of the tables you need for this are relational (queue, completed_job, users, etc, etc) and for the few things that are unstructured, you can represent them well in PG with JSONB (which is what we do for inputs and outputs).

Apologies, the units are seconds, fixing the graph right now. You will find more ample details on the benchmarks there: https://www.windmill.dev/docs/misc/benchmarks/competitors We made them as easy as possib

We added a vscode extension to build everything from code, including manipulating the yaml or UI and have them instantly impact each other: https://www.windmill.dev/blog/launch-week-1/vscode-extension yaml is not

Some people will argue we are open-core because almost everything is open-source (AGPL) but our sso and enterprise plugins are under a source-available proprietary license. The reason that we didn't split them out of the codebase is th

Not only it can cover those cases, you will likely be pleased with the advantages of such system (the automatic GUI creation is just one of those). The binary itself doesn't sandbox your processes unless you're in the nsjail mode.

When you tried, we didn't have s3 integrations nor restartable flows. We will present all of this in day 5 of our launch week and it might be a good time to revisit. I agree we were not a good fit prior. I think we would now compare fa

We could add support for Rust, and it would work the same as go, do a built step prior, and then cache the binary. If we have enough demand for it, we will add it (we are a small team and can only prioritize what's popular unfortunatel

you can always run compiled programs from bash as binaries (but yeah it's not as great as an experience than being able to run interpreted languages directly).

Yes it's too slow for HFT, but anything would be too slow for HFT unless it's custom built. You likely want a streaming engine or even hand-optimize all your event handlers to shave-off any nanoseconds.

Yes, windmill would likely be a great fit for that as long as you're willing to do a little bit of coding. For instance, we do not have a calendar integration per se but can manage your oauth tokens towards any service (including gcale

The critics is more than fair and our positioning is not very clear. We are doing a developer platform for enterprise to build internal software, including apis, workflows, background jobs, and UIs using code, but only where it matters. We

You're right, I apologize. Truth is I wrote everything in vscode markdown and really wanted to finish the article before going out for dinner and I ended up skipping it. We fixed everything

So I agree that for most jobs taking already more than 300ms, a 50ms per job will not be perceivable anymore. What matters is the DX and even though I'm very proud of our performance, a lot of our work is focused on providing a consist

Looks like a rust alternative to temporal using wasm as a runtime. Love it! Founder of windmill.dev here which is another durability engine in Rust except it's a lot less elegant since we split our workflows into well defined steps in

The wonders of HN strikes again. Thank you for this amazing piece of technology that is nsjail. Nsjail is very core to our security, our multitenant would be so slow without it and I think we're one of the applications that leverage it

If you are looking to self-host a scalable backend that runs arbitrary code in python/typescript/bash/go with optional sandboxing using nsjail like figma, nsjail is what we use as isolation layer at https://windmi

Palantir is a particularly bad example, it being american. France care a lot about sovereignty and would never allow (and for good reasons) an external entity to have that much control. It probably did ask for a contractor on an "appel

We do a bit the same at windmill.dev except for python and typescript and we parse the parameters directly from the signature without needing to use macros/annotations. I wonder if the same could not have been done here where the macro

Founder of windmill here. You can, and that's the main workflow for most users, use your code editor and version control with windmill, and you can access your database and existing code easily. It works exactly the same way as trigger

you should try windmill.dev, semi-technical folks can use the webeditor and the built-in versioning while more senior folks can keep their IDE and version directly from github/gitlab. The UI part is drag-n-drop;
