[01]Overview
FlowGrid is a concept for a visual workflow automation platform that enables teams to design, deploy, and manage complex business processes without writing code. The node-based interface connects APIs, tools, and people into resilient automated workflows with built-in monitoring and error recovery.
[02]Challenge
Business processes involve multiple tools, approval steps, and notification channels that need to work together reliably. Writing custom integrations for each workflow is expensive and brittle, while no-code tools often lack the flexibility for complex processes.
[03]Strategy
Build a visual node-based automation editor where each workflow is a graph of triggers, actions, and approval steps. The execution engine handles retries, timeouts, and error recovery. Connectors integrate with common business tools.
[04]Development
Node.js for the execution engine, TypeScript for workflow type definitions, PostgreSQL for persistent state, Redis for queue management. The visual editor uses a custom graph rendering engine.
[05]Technology
[06]Architecture
Graph-based workflow engine with PostgreSQL for state management and Redis for execution queues. Each workflow step is isolated and idempotent, enabling safe retries. Webhook handlers process external events and trigger workflow execution.
