Show HN: Flowpipe – cloud scripting using HCL

by nathanwallace on 12/13/23, 5:44 PM with 0 comments

Flowpipe [1] is a new open source [2] cloud scripting engine from Turbot [3]. Some of you may already use Steampipe [4], our open-source [5] tool to live query cloud APIs.

We believe DevOps teams need an easier way to orchestrate their cloud, build workflows and respond to events. But - because it's DevOps - that must be in code. In Flowpipe, pipelines are written in HCL and use simple primitives for HTTP requests, executing containers, running Lambda-compatible functions, querying databases like Steampipe and more. We have also published a large ecosystem of open source Flowpipe Mods [6].

Our introduction blog post gives a clear overview and demo [7], hopefully :-)

Please let us know what you think!
