Comment on Retool launches Workflows to go beyond the front endparent

Comments

Totally agree that developing in no-code tools is incredibly frustrating. This was one of the main reasons we built Workflows for developers. Code is and always has been a great way to automate. Too often we found the GUI getting in the way of what is simple to build and maintain using code.

By focusing on developers we were able to lean into supporting existing development workflows: versioning with Git, testing with staging environments, debugging with dev tools, monitoring with Datadog, etc.

Our goal is to remove all the boilerplate (spinning up a new box, managing access permissions, setting up staging data and environments, etc) that it takes to just get to writing the business logic unique to you. In my experience this causes as much debt as the logic itself!

I hope you can kick the tires on the new product — would love any feedback on how this could be even better for devs
