Two weeks ago we launched Pipedream in beta and it has been great to see the response. In particular, one customer emailed us and said, “Wow! This is definitively the fastest way to run a script on a schedule!”
When you launch a new product it is tempting to list a laundry list of features that you think can address every potential use case. However, it is often better to have a simple value proposition that every developer can understand, relate to and benefit from.
So, now when people ask me what Pipedream is, my shortcut answer is to say it’s the fastest way to run a script on a schedule. If they engage, I have an opportunity to share all the other integration capabilities, features and benefits.
As always, we think there’s a lot we can improve and are eager for feedback. Also, if you want a specific app or API fully integrated, let us know. You can reach us here or on Github [1], Twitter [2] or Slack [3].
If you do not need enterprise use cases (single sign-on, higher level SLAs, shared authentication, etc) and your scale fits within our defined constraints, then free is the price.
Haggy - we have no plans to charge individual developers for low volume workflows that fit within our defined constraints. Our revenue efforts will be focused on enterprise use cases.
I have no desire to be hand-savvy so please ask whatever questions you have and I will do my best to clarify.
We believe anyone should be able to run simple, low-volume workflows at no cost, sharing their workflows with the public so everyone benefits from the work of others. We also want to foster a positive community where people feel good about sharing their work and where everyone can learn from one another.
In the future, we may offer features available on paid tiers which would be logical enterprise features such as single sign on (SSO), team collaboration and higher SLAs and throughput.

Co-founder here. We have been heads down working Pipedream for the past 9 months and are excited to share our beta with you.
Pipedream is an integration platform built for developers. Develop any workflow, based on any trigger with authentication management built-in and no server or cloud resources to manage.
Workflows are code, which you can run for free.
The beta version includes the ability to:
- Run any Node code, or use pre-built actions
- Trigger workflows via HTTP, Cron, integrated apps or email
- Create, share, and fork workflows from the community and
- Send data to S3, Snowflake, email, SSE, and more.
Coming soon — Develop locally and deploy workflows via CLI, SDK, and more.

Thanks for the comment and we agree with the need for custom responses. We are working on a more advanced tool than RequestBin to solve this use case and hope to share it more broadly soon. We have been bombarded with webhook calls and intelligently handle throttling if necessary today.
Tod, one of the founders here. We are building a lot of integrations and are constantly testing webhooks / APIs.
RequestBin.com gives you a URL that collects requests you send it so you can inspect them in a human-friendly way. See what your HTTP client is sending or inspect and debug webhook requests.
We loved the old RequestBin written by Jeff Lindsay but it was subsequently acquired by Runscope, often unsupported and then shut down (https://github.com/Runscope/requestbin). So, we built a modern version of it, wanted to share it with the community and would love feedback.
Our new version has added functionality:
- optional authentication for private bins
- the ability to pause/filter the real-time event stream
- cleanly presents HTTP payloads (pretty-printing the JSON, XML, etc.) and query string parameters
- HTTPS endpoints that don't expire
- the ability to delete a single event or clear them all
- and, most importantly, a reliable infrastructure that should be up when you need it
In the last few months, RequestBin.com has been used by thousands of developers and is now in the docs for amazing apps such as Segment, Zapier, Coinbase, Intercom, Optimizely, Branch, Clearbit, Pipedrive and dozens more.
