Zenaton

In plain words

Zenaton is a developer tool that enables teams to build event-driven workflows and processes directly within applications. It provides a visual interface with 90+ API connectors for managing complex sequences like payments, bookings, and automated communications. Designed for developers seeking faster implementation, Zenaton allows teams to deploy these processes in days rather than months.

Zenaton makes it possible to build and run event-driven processes within the product journey in days instead of months. ie. payment, booking, personalized communication sequences, ETL processes and more. Now with 90+ APIs connectors.

I help scale-ups design orchestration systems that actually scale. Built 3 production workflow engines processing 50M+ executions monthly. Expert in microservices architecture.

I'm Gilles Barbier . I train engineering teams to work with AI—not just use it. Hands-on workshops that turn your developers into 2-5x more productive AI-augmented engineers. AI won't replace engineers. But engineers using AI will replace engineers who don't. The gap between AI-native teams and everyone else is widening every month. Every month your team spends in "wait and see" mode , your competitors pull further ahead. The skills gap compounds —and so does the cost of catching up . I don't teach theory—I train from the trenches. Hands-on workshops using your codebase, your stack, your real challenges. Your team leaves with skills they'll use on day one.

  We built a developer-first open-source Zapier alternative2023 · trigger.dev · ▲745

  For the past few months we’ve been building Trigger.dev and can now share our beta with you: https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev. Trigger.dev is an open source platform that makes it easy for developers to create event-driven background tasks directly in their code. You write workflows using our SDK, and can view all the runs in our web app. Why we built this: - We found current workflow / automation tools like Zapier and n8n are good for simple tasks, but not for more advanced use cases. - Dropping down into code in these tools is just not a great…

  Hi HN, I’m Andrew, Founder of Zencoder. While building our IDE extensions and cloud agents, we ran into the same issue many of you likely face when using coding agents in complex repos: agents getting stuck in loops, apologizing, and wasting time. We tried to manage this with scripts, but juggling terminal windows and copy-paste prompting was painful. So we built Zenflow, a free desktop tool to orchestrate AI coding workflows. It handles the things we were missing in standard chat interfaces: Cross-Model Verification: You can have Codex review Claude’s code, or run them in parallel to see…

  Talanoa▲339

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
