Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Create composable pipelines of tasks and process them. Run tasks in series and/or parallel to break complex flows into multiple pipelines. Supports file watching to run workflows as things change. It’s a framework on top of JS so you get the full power of JS - process execution, calling APIs, other modules, etc. Open source.

Tradeoffs

Upgrade from v4 to v5 changed default stream encoding to UTF-8 which can break some binary file transformations when using incorrect encoding configs.
