I've only been in the industry for about a year and a half, so forgive my lack of knowledge here...I see these no-code/internal tools/run a script easily startups every so often
What are examples of things people are building with these services?
My context - I work at a 200ish person b2b saas - I don't know of anyone in my company using these, at least not in an official capacity I can see
Great question. The answer varies widely depending on the kind of company you are.
1. The biggest pain we solve is to turn scripts that you would run on your own laptop as internal apps that you can share. If your company make no use of script anywhere and does not need any automation then maybe it doesn't apply to you.
2. Avoid live sql queries in production and use templatized sql query made into apps instead (automatically!). Making live sql queries is common in DevOps, support and ops in general. It can be very error-prone, stressful and inconvenient.
3. Integrations between tools you already use but that are unable to talk to each other.
4. Workflows, code that runs very frequently to react to new events, transform data and run your business logic. Most companies are a frontend on a database that is updated in the background. We make it possible to build those workflows from simple scripts so that you can build it faster, more reliable and easier to maintain.
5. The last one only apply if you are a SaaS that want to provide automation as a feature of your product, or a no-code tools yourself. Because we focused very much on the hard-engineering of orchestration and specs for workflows, you might simply want to wrap Windmill to offer it to your own clients.
