Pipedream | Connect APIs, AI, databases and more
Pipedream is the fastest way to build powerful applications that connect all the services in your stack, with code-level control when you need it and no code when you don't.
Categories:
Pipedream is a serverless integration platform that enables developers to connect APIs, AI models, databases, and over 3,000 apps to build workflows and AI agents with full code-level control.
🚀 Overview
Pipedream is a developer-first platform for automating workflows and building AI agents by connecting thousands of APIs and services in a serverless environment. It allows users to trigger actions on events, run custom code, and scale automations without managing infrastructure.
This project solves the problem of complex API integrations and automations that no-code tools like Zapier can't handle due to their limitations, offering code flexibility (Node.js, Python, Go, Bash) while keeping it fast and low-cost. It's built for developers, startups, and enterprises needing powerful, customizable integrations—trusted by over 1M developers from indie makers to Fortune 500 companies.
Founded in 2019 by Tod Sacerdoti, Pipedream was created to provide a free, high-performance integration platform purpose-built for developers, emphasizing speed, security, and extensibility. Recently acquired by Workday in 2025, it continues to evolve with AI agent capabilities.
✨ Key Features
- Workflow Builder: Automate any process connecting 3,000+ apps with triggers, actions, and multi-step logic; matters for rapid prototyping and production automations.
- AI Agent Builder: Prompt, run, edit, and deploy AI agents in seconds using 1M+ AI tokens on free tier; enables quick AI-powered apps.
- Custom Code Steps: Write Node.js, Python, Go, or Bash code with npm/pip access; crucial for complex logic beyond pre-built components.
- Pipedream Connect: Embed 10k+ tools and managed auth into your apps/agents; upcoming MCP servers for AI extensibility.
