Pipedream review

A powerful, code-first serverless platform for developers to connect APIs and build workflows.

Verdict

Pipedream is the wildcard pick because it eschews the visual-first paradigm of its competitors, instead offering a powerful, serverless platform where developers can write Node.js, Python, or Go code to integrate any API with incredible speed and flexibility.

What customers praise

The ability to write arbitrary code, use any npm package, and instantly test workflows makes it an incredibly productive tool for technical users.

What customers criticise

It is not a no-code tool and is unsuitable for non-technical users, as a basic understanding of programming is required for most tasks.

Best for

Developers who need a serverless, code-first platform to connect APIs and build event-driven workflows with maximum control.
