Is Automatisch actively maintained?
Automatisch logged 23 commits over the last 11 months, but none in the most recent quarter. Development has paused rather than stopped outright — worth watching before a production deployment.
The last tagged release, v0.15.0, is over 1 year old. If you deploy, expect to build from the default branch rather than a stable tag.
Automatisch ranks #26 of 32 tracked automation projects. Several better-maintained options exist in the same category — they are listed below.
What Automatisch actually does
Automatisch is a self-hosted workflow automation tool designed to link different web services together for executing business processes. It functions as an open-source alternative to commercial integration platforms like Zapier. You can run it via Docker to orchestrate triggers and actions across various external applications.
Best fit: It is a suitable option if you need a self-hosted alternative to proprietary workflow automation tools and want to keep your integration data on your own infrastructure.
Worth knowing: The project's maintenance pace has slowed recently, and it operates under the AGPL-3.0 licence, which has strict copyleft implications if you modify and distribute the code. It also overlaps heavily with more mature self-hosted automation platforms like n8n.
Deployment notes
Since it runs via Docker, you will typically need to configure persistent volumes for your database and application state, alongside a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
