Most workflows are mostly simple. Call an API, wait for a reply, send a message. But every now and then, you need a few lines of code in the middle. Maybe you need to filter a list, reshape some data, or check a value before moving on.
That’s when things get annoying. For ten lines of code, you end up setting up a separate service, hosting it somewhere, and wiring it back into your workflow. Now you have one more thing to deploy and keep running.
In Unmeshed, you can write that code right inside the workflow as its own step. Pick JavaScript or Python (Go works too), write what you need, and it runs as part of the flow. The step can use the output from the steps before it and pass its result to the next one. There’s no extra server to manage. Unmeshed runs the code for you.
For bigger jobs, like heavy processing or anything that needs your own setup, you can run that work on your own servers and still keep it in the same workflow.
So the small stuff stays quick and simple, and the big stuff runs where it makes sense.
