orchest VS appsmith

The code example is part of our ELT/data pipeline tool called Orchest: https://github.com/orchest/orchest/

First want to say congrats to the Patterns team for creating a gorgeous looking tool. Very minimal and approachable. Massive kudos!

Disclaimer: we're building something very similar and I'm curious about a couple of things.

One of the questions our users have asked us often is how to minimize the dependence on "product specific" components/nodes/steps. For example, if you write CI for GitHub Actions you may use a bunch of GitHub Action references.

Looking at the `graph.yml` in some of the examples you shared you use a similar approach (e.g. patterns/openai-completion@v4). That means that whenever you depend on such components your automation/data pipeline becomes more tied to the specific tool (GitHub Actions/Patterns), effectively locking in users.

How are you helping users feel comfortable with that problem (I don't want to invest in something that's not portable)? It's something we've struggled with ourselves as we're expanding the "out of the box" capabilities you get.

Furthermore, would have loved to see this as an open source project. But I guess the second best thing to open source is some open source contributions and `dcp` and `common-model` look quite interesting!

Haven't tried it. In its favor, Argo is vendor neutral and is really easy to set up in a local k8s environment like docker for desktop or minikube. If you already use k8s for configuration, service discovery, secret management, etc, it's dead simple to set up and use (avoiding configuration having to learn a whole new workflow configuration language in addition to k8s). The big downside is that it doesn't have a visual DAG editor (although that might be a positive for engineers having to fix workflows written by non-programmers), but the relatively bare-metal nature of Argo means that it's fairly easy to use it as an underlying engine for a more opinionated or lower-code framework (orchest is a notable one out now).

If you’d like to try something for you data workflows that’s vendor agnostic (k8s based) and open source you can check out our project: https://github.com/orchest/orchest

We automatically provide container level parallelism in Orchest: https://github.com/orchest/orchest

For people in this thread interested in what this tool is an alternative to: Airflow, Luigi, Kubeflow, Kedro, Flyte, Metaflow, Sagemaker Pipelines, GCP Vertex Workbench, Azure Data Factory, Azure ML, Dagster, DVC, ClearML, Prefect, Pachyderm, and Orchest.

appsmith — Low code project to build admin panels, internal tools, and dashboards. Integrates with 15+ databases and any API.

For instance, although we don't have a native signature capture widget (yet), you can easily build one with just a few lines of JavaScript, and the signaturePad.js library.

Effective communication and efficient meeting management are key to a team's success in the modern workplace. Recognizing this, we will develop an AI-powered meeting assistant app to transform Google Meet recordings into automatically generated meeting notes with key takeaways and action items. The blog post is tailored for every creator from developers to no-coders who are interested in the intersection of AI and productivity tools. It's particularly useful for those with limited AI-development experience and who want to build AI applications by using simple low-code tools like Unbody and Appsmith.

And if you don't need a mobile app and can get by with web only, check out Appsmith. It's open-source, can connect to Google Sheets, Airtable, and any API or database, and is free for unlimited users and apps. Feel free to DM me if you need a hand getting started with either one. I'm Joseph from the Appsmith Developer Relations team, and GreenFlux on the AppSheet forums.

Appsmith- Build build custom software on top of your data.

This wasn't an easy journey. While this functionality was in high demand, early versions were frustrating to use. In our earliest implementations, it wasn't even possible to pinpoint where the conflicts were in a file. Even members of the Appsmith development team would avoid using our early Git implementations. We even had a rule for our internal “Hackathons” that using the Git feature was banned because it kept breaking! So we know why other app platforms had avoided fully implementing Git: it really was a challenge to get it working right.

Suggest features and help to guide Appsmith’s future: Appsmith's community keeps us at the forefront of internal tools with feature requests for the latest third-party integrations and robust community support.

Ever tried building a responsive web application using AppSmith as the frontend and Baserow as the backend? Well, Frederik Duchi created a new set of videos showcasing the entire process! The videos include an interesting use case: reporting a nest of Asian hornets in an area. 🤯
