A workflow automation platform for connecting services and executing repeatable business processes.
AutomateX will provide a visual workflow editor and an execution engine capable of handling triggers, conditions, external API requests, and background jobs.
- Visual workflow editor
- Trigger and action nodes
- Webhook triggers
- Scheduled workflows
- HTTP API actions
- Conditional execution
- Workflow execution history
- Retry and failure handling
- Integration credentials management
- Execution logs and debugging tools
- Workflow activation and versioning
| Layer | Technology |
|---|---|
| Backend | PHP, Laravel |
| Frontend | React, TypeScript |
| Workflow Editor | React Flow |
| Database | PostgreSQL |
| Cache | Redis |
| Messaging | Laravel Queues, RabbitMQ |
| Infrastructure | Docker, Docker Compose |
| CI/CD | GitHub Actions |
| Testing | PHPUnit, Playwright |
AutomateX will consist of a workflow management API, an execution engine, and background workers.
Workflows will be represented as directed graphs. The execution engine will manage node execution, state transitions, failures, and retries.
Core design principles:
- Explicit workflow state
- Idempotent job execution
- Reliable queue processing
- Versioned workflow definitions
- Secure external integrations
- Credential isolation
- Execution tracing and auditability
- Define workflow data structures
- Set up Laravel and React
- Configure Docker, Makefile, and CI
- Implement workflow CRUD
- Build visual workflow editor
- Implement execution engine
- Add webhook and schedule triggers
- Implement HTTP actions and conditions
- Add retry and failure handling
- Build execution history and debugging
- Complete security and integration tests
Planning
The initial workflow engine design and MVP scope are pending implementation.
License to be determined.
