Review Pipedream?
Reviewers describe Pipedream as an easy, fast way to build and run API workflows, from simple scripts to complex company automations. They repeatedly praise its developer-friendly UI, built-in integrations, custom code support, webhooks, scheduling, and the ability to go deeper when off-the-shelf components fall short. Support and community responsiveness also stand out. The few criticisms are narrow: some wanted missing integrations like Firebase or custom web3 triggers. Makers of Spine also say it beats building API connections from scratch.

I've been using Pipedream to manage process automation for almost two years now and have recently started using the platform for serverless function needs as well. For me it's the perfect blend of no/low-code that actually makes me more efficient at my job. I don't feel like I'm creating clumsy automation because I have the right level of control.
UI/UX flow is designed to help developers get up and running in no time. Appreciate Pipedream's support for the community by enabling free usage for development and the reasonable production level tiers.
I have been using Pipedream for over 2 years for different hobby and production integrations. For instance, I'll list some:
- Posting hot trends on r/unixp*rn on a Discord channel using a custom format
- Processing RSS feed notifications
- Redoing flawed integrations between production systems via apis and webhooks
- Automatically sending daily morning e-mails for order deliveries
- Managing invoice integrations with custom systems and Shopify
- Many more
Pipedream has not once let me down on this tasks and is really easy to use. While it it true that I could deploy an API or a cloud function somewhere else, Pipedream is easier to use and faster to deploy and test.
One thing I could surely recommend is to have custom web3 events as triggers, due to the rising popularity of this technology. But besides that, it's a 10/10 product.

After looking at AWS API Gateway (which we used at a previous company), Zapier, and Skyvia, I came across Pipedream. I was able to accomplish in 1 day with Pipedream what I was unable to do after several days of learning the other platforms, often running into dead ends with these other platforms. It is extremely easy to use with its 100s of built-in integrations, and if they don't work exactly as needed, you have the source to modify as required for your application. Along with a great product, they have an active user base on their own Slack channel, and their support team is one of the most responsive I have ever dealt with, with a special shout-out to Dylan Sather who is always available to answer questions. I haven't migrated to Pipedream 2.0, but I'm sure it's going to be a great improvement.

We very much appreciate your early support, Rod! I love that Pipedream has been helpful for you. Reach out when you start using v2 — would love to know what you think.
What I like about Pipedream is that at every level of sophistication, there's an open door to go a little bit deeper.
Drop in a plug-and-play component from the registry -> Adjust the props of a configurable component -> Edit the component's code in the browser to make your own custom version -> Create your own component from scratch -> Polish it up and add it to the registry for anyone to use
There's fine-grained coverage of the whole spectrum from no-code to real-code and I think that's really powerful and special.
Pipedream is the backbone so many of our company automations. The flexibility and scalability it provides is astonishing, and the price point literally can't be beaten. We've been using it for over a year now creating complex automations across all our company departments.
The engagement of their developers in responding to anything we ask is quick & immediate. They're a great team creating a great product that every business can use, especially if you have coding-oriented makers but coding certainly isn't required.

It's totally awesome, have been using for months and it helped a lot. But also some popular plugin integrations are missing such as firebase/firestore and many more. Overall I just love using pipedream, great work team!
Thank you so much for the feedback, Sharad! Would you mind telling me the specific triggers / actions / integrations you're looking for? For example, are there specific Firebase triggers / actions you'd like to see? I'd like to see if those are on our backlog or if we need to create new issues to track those.
Also, were you aware that anyone can build triggers and actions on Pipedream? See https://pipedream.com/docs/compo... — happy to help you get started if you're interested.
Superior experience as compared to other API integration tools. Custom code, HTTP webhook, granular control on triggers etc. make it easy to build complex workflows. Price point is amazing too.
We’ve been using Pipedream for over a year now and have automated so much, so easily. It has been a massive game changer. The team and community are friendly and supportive.

Thanks for the review! We love sealing monolith cracks and we are intimately familiar with the problem :-) We would love any feedback on python and go when you have a chance.
