Introduction
Windmill is an open-source, blazing fast and scalable alternative to Retool, Airplane, Superblocks, n8n, Airflow, Temporal to build all your internal tools (endpoints, workflows, UIs) through the combination of code (in Typescript, Python, Go & Bash, or any docker image) and low code builders. It embeds all-in-one:
- an execution runtime to execute functions at scale with low-latency and no overhead on a fleet of workers
- an orchestrator to compose functions into powerful flows at low-latency built with a low-code builder (or yaml if that's your thing)
- an app builder to build application and data-intensive dashboards built with low-code or JS frameworks such a React.
Windmill can be used solely from its UI through its webIDE, and low-code builders but it is also possible to keep using your editor and deploy from a git repo using a CLI.
Start building now using our Cloud App (no credit card required) or Self-Host yourself.

Quick Overview of Windmill
Windmill is a feature-rich platform that allows you to build endpoints, cron jobs, workflows & UIs. Each of these features can be used standalone.
However the 3 core layers of Windmill, namely Scripts, Flows and Apps are complementary. Scripts are the smallest "unit" of abstraction and workflows and UIs rely on them.
