The initial release supported pipeline execution, steps such as container, email, function, HTTP, query, sleep, transform, and pipeline, schedule and HTTP triggers, credential management, and mod composition. The project reached 1.0.0 in October 2024. That release added a connection resource for credentials, formal connection and notifier variable types, enum validation, defined CLI exit codes, and deprecated earlier credential resources in favor of connection resources. ### Adoption history Flowpipe's adoption path is tied to Turbot's broader CLI and mod ecosystem. Its README points users to Flowpipe Hub library mods and samples for services such as AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub, Jira, Okta, PagerDuty, SendGrid, Slack, Teams, and Zendesk. The README also positions Flowpipe alongside Steampipe and Powerpipe in Turbot Pipes, using Steampipe for data access, Powerpipe for visualization, and Flowpipe for workflow automation. ### How it is used Users define pipelines, triggers, variables, locals, and steps in .fp files inside a Flowpipe mod. Config resources such as workspaces and connections are HCL files ending in .fpc and are loaded from the working directory or mod location and the Flowpipe install config directory. A typical package workflow installs the flowpipe CLI, initializes a mod with flowpipe mod init, writes pipeline definitions in HCL, installs reusable mods from the hub or Git repositories, and runs pipelines from the terminal. ### Why package nerds care Flowpipe is notable for package metadata because it brings Terraform-like HCL mod conventions to command-line workflow automation. It also has a recognizable family relationship with Turbot's Steampipe, Powerpipe, hub mods, and connection configuration files. ### Timeline - 2023: Flowpipe 0.1.0 introduces the cloud scripting engine and HCL pipeline model. - 2024: Flowpipe 0.2.0 adds query triggers, expanded HTTP triggers, database query support, and more credential types. - 2024: Flowpipe 0.3.0 adds human workflow, Slack and email messaging, input steps, and Steampipe credential import. - 2024: Flowpipe 0.6.0 adds interactive workflows in the terminal via console integration. - 2024: Flowpipe 1.0.0 introduces connection resources and deprecates credential resources. - 2026: Flowpipe 1.2.x continues with security and dependency maintenance releases. ### Related projects - Official sources connect Flowpipe to Flowpipe Hub mods, Turbot Pipes, Steampipe, Powerpipe, and the shared Turbot pipe-fittings codebase. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
