What it is

Windmill is an open-source developer platform (AGPLv3) that transforms scripts (Python, TypeScript, Go, Bash, SQL, etc.) into APIs, webhooks, background jobs, workflows, and auto-generated UIs. It's a self-hostable alternative to Retool and Pipedream that claims 13x faster workflow execution than Airflow, with both no-code and low-code UI builders for composing scripts into internal applications. Monorepo with a primary backend in Rust (15.8M lines), TypeScript/Svelte frontend (11.5M+ lines), and ai_evals/ subdirectory containing test adapters and evaluation runners for CLI, frontend, and flow/app engines. Key structure: ai_evals/adapters/frontend/core/ organizes domain-specific runners…

Start here

Open these first:

ai_evals/core/runSuite.ts — Entry point for the AI evaluation framework that orchestrates test suite execution across all evaluation modes.
ai_evals/adapters/frontend/windmillBackend.ts — Mock backend adapter implementing the Windmill API contract for frontend evaluation tests.
ai_evals/modes/script.ts — Script mode evaluator showing how to structure evaluation runners for different artifact types.
ai_evals/core/cases.ts — Test case definition and loading system that reads and parses evaluation scenarios from YAML.
backend/Cargo.toml — Rust backend dependency manifest defining core platform runtime and its third-party integrations.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone: git clone https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill. Install: Check for Rust (backend) and Node/Bun (frontend/ai_evals) manifests in repo root—likely cargo build for backend and npm install or bun install…

Daily commands:

For ai_evals: bun install (from package.json), then bun cli/index.ts to run CLI. For frontend tests: npm run test:frontend-graph runs vitest. Root Dockerfile and Caddyfile suggest docker-compose up workflow (see…

…shortened for this brief.

Key cautions & unknowns

ai_evals/ is a private package (@private in package.json)—understand it's for evaluation/testing, not published. Package uses Bun (alternative JS runtime) alongside Node; ensure your environment supports both or check…
Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
