Engineering Teams

Give your engineering team automation superpowers.

flow8 gives developers a REST API, a plugin system for custom modules, MCP support for AI agents, and a visual builder that non-engineers can actually use โ€” so automation isn't always an eng ticket.

The Engineering Challenge

Every Automation is an Eng Ticket

Every automation request becomes an engineering ticket. Business teams can't self-serve, and engineering gets buried in glue-code requests instead of shipping product.

Automation Sprawl

Glue scripts sprawl across repos, crons, and Lambdas with no visibility or audit trail. DevOps teams struggle to maintain dozens of disconnected automation solutions.

Integration Chaos

Integrating internal tools and proprietary APIs requires custom code for every automation. Custom solutions pile up, creating technical debt and maintenance burden.

Key Workflows for Engineering Teams

Let business teams self-serve while engineers focus on product

Plugin Architecture

Engineers extend flow8
without touching core.

One Go file per module. The discovery system picks it up automatically via reflection โ€” no registration, no wiring, no rebuild. Ship a custom module and it's instantly available to every flow in the platform.

  • โœ“ Auto-discovered via reflection
  • โœ“ Version-controlled alongside your app
  • โœ“ Full access to platform context & KV store
  • โœ“ Works with visual builder immediately
module_slack_alert.go
package v2

type ModuleSlackAlert struct {
    *PluginModule
}

// NewModuleSlackAlert is auto-discovered
// by flow8's reflection-based registry.
func (m *PluginModule) NewModuleSlackAlert() *ModuleSlackAlert {
    return &ModuleSlackAlert{PluginModule: m}
}

func (m *ModuleSlackAlert) Execute(params Params) Response {
    channel := params.GetString("channel")
    message := params.GetString("message")

    if err := postSlack(channel, message); err != nil {
        return m.Fail(err.Error())
    }

    return m.Done(map[string]any{
        "sent":    true,
        "channel": channel,
    })
}

Built for Developers

The features your team needs to own automation

๐Ÿ”Œ
Plugin Architecture
One Go file per module. Auto-discovered via reflection. No registration needed. Version independently.
๐Ÿ“ก
REST API
Pure HTTP. No SDK required. Create flows, list executions, trigger runs, stream logs โ€” all via standard REST.
๐Ÿค–
MCP Server
Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other AI agents can invoke your flows as tools. AI orchestrates multi-step workflows.
โšก
WebSocket Real-Time
Stream execution updates to clients. Watch flows run live. React instantly to state changes.
๐Ÿงช
Fixture-Based Testing
Record external API calls. Replay in tests. Deterministic, fast, no external dependencies needed.
๐Ÿ“
Visual Flow Builder
Non-engineers can build flows. Drag-and-drop with modules. No coding needed for business logic.

Developer Integration Stack

Connect any system via REST, webhooks, or custom modules
