activepieces VS sidewinder

Activepieces - Build automation flows to connect several apps together in your app's backend. For example, send a Slack message or add a Google Sheet row when an event fires in your app. Free up to 5,000 tasks per month.

As per its description on github: N8n is a Free and source-available fair-code licensed workflow automation tool.

Not really OSS.

MIT open source.

There's also https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill and https://github.com/activepieces/activepieces depending on which parts of retool and tooljet you care about.

I wonder how cptn compares with ActivePieces. AP's been declared the "Open Source Zapier" and I have been having a blast with it.

There is an issue about this on our GitHub, you can comment on it with your specific use case to give it a push up, our piece building roadmap changes upon demand from users: https://github.com/activepieces/activepieces/issues/670

I use n8n to handle simple automations like this - and currently testing Activepieces too.

It was requested by someone, I'll appreciate it if you put some emphasis on the GitHub issue here: https://github.com/activepieces/activepieces/issues/438

7 months ago I posted here about my open source starter kit Sidewinder https://github.com/stribny/sidewinder. The goal was to create a kit that would come prepared with development and deployment tools, mainly to deploy a Django app to a single private virtual server.

You can have a look at https://github.com/stribny/sidewinder where I styled the most important pages (https://github.com/stribny/sidewinder/tree/master/templates/account) for email-based login (no social login).

If you are talking about end-to-end UI tests, then using Playwright you can write your tests in Python and execute them together with other tests that you run with pytest. I have exactly this in https://stribny.github.io/sidewinder/ starter kit.

You should probably really define what you need a bit better. I have a starter kit (https://stribny.github.io/sidewinder/) that has some good defaults out of the box (like using django-allauth). Pair it with e.g. https://github.com/paddle-python/dj-paddle for Paddle (or something similar for Stripe) and you have a good base.

Feel free to check my Ansible playbook (`deployment`) folder of my starter kit: https://stribny.github.io/sidewinder/

You can see it working in a Django project here: https://stribny.github.io/sidewinder/

Check out https://stribny.github.io/sidewinder/, maybe that's what you next project will need :D

My first choice if the product is a good fit would be old school Django deployed to a single VPS (no docker). I am creating a public starter kit that does exactly that, including the deployment part: https://stribny.github.io/sidewinder/

However, there are lots of use cases that would call for additional SPA (Vue/Nuxt), or other tech. So in that case I'd add it or replace the tech stack entirely. I'd probably avoid specialized cloud services, might consider something like https://supabase.com tho if the app doesn't need a complex backend.
