Kestra is a universal workflow orchestration platform that aligns well with the concept of a low-code/no-code platform for building internal applications and automating workflows. It explicitly mentions 'Event-Driven Declarative Orchestration Platform' and 'workflows as code with a Git Version Control integration'. It offers a 'Drag-and-Drop Interface' and a 'built-in code editor' for YAML definitions, supporting 'scripts in any language' (Python, Node.js, R, Go, Shell, SQL). Kestra integrates with various data sources and APIs through its 'Rich Plugin Ecosystem' and supports 'Cloud Integrations' (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure). It also mentions 'Monitoring and Notifications' and 'Audit Logs' implicitly through its focus on tracking workflow progression and status. The platform is designed for scalability and resilience, and its 'Infrastructure as Code' approach with 'Version Control' and 'CI/CD Integration' further solidifies its alignment. While not explicitly stated as 'low-code/no-code' in the same way Retool is, its declarative YAML interface and UI builder provide a similar experience for building internal tools and automating processes.
I've been using Alternative A for 6 months now and it's been fantastic. The pricing is much better and the features are actually more robust than what [Product] offers.
It handles edge cases much better and the API
is actually documented properly.

Honestly, after trying both, Competitor B wins hands down. Better customer support, cleaner interface, and they don't nickel and dime you for every feature.
