Automation Challenges Backend engineers Face
Kick off workflows from emails, chats, documents, forms, events, or webhooks
AI steps summarize activity, extract key details, and classify next action
Route by skills, language, or workload, and sync case status across systems
Hundreds of connectors spanning communication, CRMs, support platforms, and internal tools
Credentials stay encrypted.
Sensitive details never appear in logs due to data masking.
Run in our secure cloud or self-host for complete control.

How Activepieces Supports Automation for Backend Engineers
JavaScript Code Execution
Workflows accommodate custom Node.js scripts to handle complex logic or specific data transformations. The platform supports importing external npm packages, which allows backend engineers to extend functionality beyond pre-built integrations and manipulate data structures programmatically.
Self-Hosted Infrastructure
The platform deploys via Docker on private servers or virtual private clouds for full infrastructure control. This configuration keeps data within internal networks and allows teams to manage resources, logs, and updates according to specific internal standards.
Persistent State Management
Built-in tables store and retrieve structured data during workflow execution to maintain context. This capability enables state persistence between runs, allowing backend engineers to track process outcomes, manage lookup data, and handle long-running asynchronous operations without external databases.
