# Project foundations Explore repositories by project goal or target platform. Compare business applications, app foundations, game engines and supporting libraries before choosing your starting point. Page 1 of 1 ## Activepieces Business application A visual automation platform with reusable integrations and TypeScript extension points. ### Why we recommend it Choose it when business workflows need a visual editor and your team may need to add custom service integrations. ### When to choose it - Application-to-application workflows, notifications and repetitive data-handling tasks. ### What to consider - Community code is MIT; designated Enterprise directories use a commercial license. External services can have separate costs and limits. ### Start with this project Prototype one real trigger-to-action flow and test its credentials, failure handling and required edition. Technology: TypeScript License: MIT Community; separate Enterprise license Default branch: main Sources checked: 2026-10-25 [Explore project](https://orqestria.com/en/catalog/repositories/activepieces) [Start a project in Orqestria](orqestria://catalog/project?repository=activepieces) Choose a name and location in the app. Orqestria clones the repository into a new project and assigns the recommended agent team. It does not install dependencies or start the application. ### Official sources - [https://github.com/activepieces/activepieces](https://github.com/activepieces/activepieces) - [https://github.com/activepieces/activepieces/blob/main/README.md](https://github.com/activepieces/activepieces/blob/main/README.md) - [https://github.com/activepieces/activepieces/blob/main/LICENSE](https://github.com/activepieces/activepieces/blob/main/LICENSE) - [https://github.com/activepieces/activepieces/blob/main/packages/ee/LICENSE](https://github.com/activepieces/activepieces/blob/main/packages/ee/LICENSE) ## Node-RED Business application A flow-based tool for connecting events, APIs and devices with reusable nodes. ### Why we recommend it Choose it when your integration can be understood as a sequence of connected steps with occasional custom JavaScript. ### When to choose it - Event integrations, device workflows and small operational automations. ### What to consider - Community nodes have their own dependencies and maintenance needs; the runtime and credentials still need operational care. ### Start with this project Connect one real event source to one useful action, then test reconnection and repeat-event behavior.

Developers must write workflows, activities and workers using an SDK and plan their operations. ### Start with this project Implement one small process and verify recovery after a worker restart and a failed external operation.

Hosting needs a database and a continuously running worker. ### Start with this project Build one monitor-to-notification chain and check filtering, duplicate events and background execution.

Production needs suitable workers and a supported database; SQLite is for testing. ### Start with this project Model one scheduled pipeline with dependencies, then test retries and rerunning a failed step without duplicating results.
