Open Beta — Self-hosted & Managed

Realtime WorkflowAutomation Engine

ALTREX is a self-hosted, multi-tenant workflow engine for engineers. Design distributed automations on a visual DAG canvas, execute them durably with real-time telemetry, and inspect every run in detail.

No credit card required · Self-host on any infrastructure

What is ALTREX?

ALTREX is a production-grade, self-hosted workflow automation engine built for engineering teams who need precise control over distributed automations. It is not a no-code marketing tool — it is a developer-first platform with a visual canvas, durable execution, multi-tenant isolation, and real-time observability built in from day one.

For Engineers

Deploy workflows via API, inspect every execution, integrate with your existing stack over HTTP or webhooks.

Privacy-first

Self-host on your own infrastructure. No vendor lock-in. Credentials encrypted at rest. Zero telemetry leakage.

Production-ready core

Durable waits, idempotent retries, DLQ, checkpoint recovery, and circuit breakers — not afterthoughts.

Current capabilities

What is implemented and shipped in the current version.

SHIPPED

Webhook & Schedule Triggers

Start workflows from HTTP webhooks or CRON schedules. Each trigger creates an isolated, durable execution run.

SHIPPED

Visual DAG Builder

Drag-and-drop canvas powered by React Flow. Connect nodes with typed edges, inline-edit config, live validation.

SHIPPED

LLM Node

Call any OpenAI-compatible model directly in your workflow. Cost limits, token caps, and scrubbed telemetry built in.

SHIPPED

HTTP Action Node

Make authenticated HTTP calls with retry logic, SSRF protection, and idempotency key forwarding.

SHIPPED

Durable DELAY & WAIT

Pause execution for minutes to days without blocking worker threads. Resume via signal or timer — reliably.

SHIPPED

Real-time Telemetry

WebSocket stream delivers live node status, run progress, and logs to the dashboard as execution proceeds.

SHIPPED

Execution History

Full run history with per-node checkpoints. Inspect inputs, outputs, and failure traces for every execution.

SHIPPED

Multi-tenant Isolation

Every workflow and credential is scoped to an organization. Cross-tenant access returns 404, not 403.

SHIPPED

Dead Letter Queue

Failed or uncertain executions land in a reviewable DLQ. Replay-safe, with operator review gates for mutations.

SHIPPED

Analytics & Audit Logs

Execution success rates, failure trends, and a tamper-evident audit trail for all organization actions.

SHIPPED

Encrypted Credential Vault

Secrets stored with MultiFernet symmetric encryption. Zero plaintext in logs, checkpoints, or telemetry.

IN DEVELOPMENT

Sub-workflow Support

Compose large automations from reusable workflow modules. Trigger child workflows from a parent DAG.

What's still in development

  • Production Kubernetes deployment guides
  • Additional LLM providers (Anthropic, Gemini)
  • Approval gates & human-in-the-loop nodes
  • Workflow versioning and rollback
  • Public template marketplace

ALTREX is honest about what works today. No invented customers, partnerships, or production numbers.

Who it's for

Backend engineers

Who need orchestrated multi-step automations with guaranteed delivery and retry semantics.

Platform teams

Who want to give internal teams a self-service workflow builder without sacrificing reliability.

AI application builders

Who need to chain LLM calls, HTTP actions, and data transforms in a durable, inspectable pipeline.
