# Self-hosted workflow automation and CI tools

Workflow automation connects the services you use: a form entry lands in a spreadsheet, a webhook starts a script, a push to Git starts a build. Running the tool yourself keeps the credentials it holds for those accounts on your own machine.

n8n combines a visual canvas with custom code, and Activepieces, an open source replacement for Zapier, builds automations and AI agents from pieces with no code. Windmill turns scripts in Python, TypeScript, Go, SQL or Bash into flows and apps, and calls itself an alternative to Retool and Pipedream. Semaphore UI runs Ansible playbooks and Terraform, and Jenkins builds, tests and deploys.
