About

What is Dafthunk?

Dafthunk is an open-source, serverless visual workflow automation platform designed for building AI workflows, web scraping, and data pipelines on Cloudflare. Users can visually construct workflows by connecting over 470 nodes in a React Flow editor, which then run on Cloudflare Workers and Workflows. The platform supports native AI bindings for Workers AI, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini, enabling agentic workflows where any node can act as a tool for an AI agent. It features durable long-running workflows, built-in D1 SQL, R2 object storage, KV, and Analytics Engine for persistent state. Workflows can be triggered via webhooks, cron jobs, queues, email, or manually, and scale to zero when idle and up with demand without requiring server management. Dafthunk is MIT licensed, allowing self-hosting on a Cloudflare account.

FAQs

Is Dafthunk truly free and open source?

Yes, Dafthunk is fully MIT licensed. There are no enterprise tiers, fair-code restrictions, or community editions with hidden features. The entire workflow engine, node library, and runtime are available on GitHub under the same permissive license, allowing you to self-host or embed it freely.

How does Dafthunk differ from n8n, Zapier, or Make?

Dafthunk is MIT licensed, unlike n8n's fair-code model, and runs natively on Cloudflare's serverless platform. This means workflows scale to zero when idle and up with demand without requiring container or infrastructure provisioning. You can self-host it for free or embed it in commercial products.

Do I need to manage servers to run Dafthunk workflows?

No, workflows run on Cloudflare Workers and Workflows, providing serverless and durable execution by default. There is nothing to provision or scale. State is persisted in D1 SQL databases, R2 object storage, and Durable Objects, ensuring long-running workflows survive restarts and retries automatically.
