What it does
Windmill turns scripts in Python, TypeScript, SQL and other languages into workflows, scheduled jobs, webhooks and simple internal apps. It is aimed at developers who would rather write code than drag boxes.
Good for: Developers who want scheduled scripts and internal tools without running the plumbing themselves.
