Open-source low-code platform for API integration and workflow automation
ByteChef is a low-code, extendable platform for building API integrations and workflow automation across SaaS apps, internal APIs, and databases.

ByteChef is an open-source, low-code platform designed for API integration and workflow automation. It serves two primary audiences: teams seeking an automation solution to connect SaaS apps, internal APIs, and databases, and SaaS vendors looking to embed integration capabilities directly into their products for end customers.
The platform features an intuitive drag-and-drop workflow editor, event-driven and scheduled triggers, and a rich ecosystem of pre-built components for databases, SaaS applications, and cloud storage. When no-code isn't enough, ByteChef offers a built-in code editor supporting Java, JavaScript, Python, and Ruby for custom logic. Developers can extend the platform with custom connectors, expose workflows as APIs, and integrate version control systems for CI/CD workflows.
ByteChef can be self-hosted via Docker or Docker Compose, giving teams complete control over execution and data. The architecture is designed to scale from a single instance to millions of workflows with high availability. Advanced features include flow controls (conditions, loops, parallel execution), AI-ready components, error handling, retries, and dynamic task orchestration.
When teams consider ByteChef, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
