Abstra Workflows - Scale critical business processes with Python + AI

@jonte I see a few things: - windmill can’t be as easy to install and simple to use because it’s architecture decisions - our dynamic forms are pretty unique - we offer database, file system, granular access control, programmable notifications, kanban, etc.. out of the box As far as I know, windmill is taking a more “data pipeline” direction and we’re focusing on business processes Since our focus is business, convenience justify our pricing

@jonte @brunovcosta Maker of windmill here: > - windmill can’t be as easy to install and simple to use because it’s architecture decisions Please expand, we are used by more than 50k+ users everyday and they are able to self-host in a few minutes with our docker-compose and start building powerful flows as fast. > - our dynamic forms are pretty unique Ours is too, you use interactive python statement to build forms while we parse the AST of the python program to infer it from the main function parameters. > As far as I know, windmill is taking a more “data pipeline” direction and we’re focusing on business processes No that's wrong, we are used for business processes and benefit of being the fastest and most powerful engine, we are used at very large scale for that purpose by some of our customers. > - we offer database, file system, granular access control, programmable notifications, kanban, etc.. out of the box Windmill does too (well not the kanban but that seems a bit nitty) Congrats on the launch and looking forward to some healthy competition

@aaliya_shah thank you!

@ayub Hi Ayub! That's exactly right – democratizing access to code is our company's founding principle and what we've been aiming for when developing products, always. Abstra does that in 2 ways. The design of the building process itself reduces many of the barriers early coders face, such as having to learn how to deal with front-end, back-end and infrastructure all at once 😵‍💫 Our products focus on providing front-end and infrastructure out-of-box, and simplifying how you code the back-end. Beyond lowering the barriers to entry for junior users, this speeds up senior coders like crazy. Adding AI just further eases the bits you do still need to code. An example for that is our Smart Console, which is fed with context on our platform and your project, so it can give you a head start when starting a script from scratch and help debug any issue, no matter how hairy. Hopefully you get to use the platform and see this all for yourself!
