AutoKitteh is a developer platform for workflow automation and orchestration. It is an easy-to-use, code-based alternative to no/low-code platforms (such as Zapier, Workato, Make.com, n8n) with unlimited flexibility.
You write in vanilla Python, we make it durable 🪄
In addition, it is a durable execution platform for long-running and reliable workflows. It is based on Temporal, hiding many of its infrastructure and coding complexities.
AutoKitteh can be self-hosted, and has a cloud offering as well.
Once installed, AutoKitteh is a scalable "serverless" platform (with batteries included) for DevOps, FinOps, MLOps, SOAR, productivity tasks, critical backend business processes, and more.

High-Level Architecture
Platform: A scalable server that provides interfaces for building projects (workflows), deploying them, triggering the code with webhooks or schedulers, executing the code as durable workflows, and managing these workflows.
API: AutoKitteh is an API-first platform. All services are available via gRPC / HTTP.
Built-in integrations: Slack, GitHub, Twilio, ChatGPT, Gemini, Gmail, Google Calendar, HTTP, gRPC and many more. It's easy to add new integrations.
Supported programming languages: Python, Starlark (a dialect of Python), and JavaScript (coming soon).
