Zapier is a microservices-based automation platform replicating Zapier's core functionalities. It enables users to create automated workflows (Zaps) triggered by webhooks, performing actions like sending emails. The system features a scalable microservices architecture and an event-driven design.
- Apache Kafka: Reliable event streaming.
- Docker: Consistent deployment environments.
- Next.js: React framework for frontend.
- Express.js: API handling and routing.
- Prisma ORM: Type-safe database access.
- PostgreSQL: Robust relational database.
