What is Outerbridge?

Outerbridge is a workflow automation tool that lets users build processes visually without writing code. It specializes in connecting blockchain networks with regular web services through a drag-and-drop canvas. The software runs on Node.js with a React interface and stores data in MongoDB. Users can install it themselves using Docker Compose or an npm package, and a managed cloud version exists at app.outerbridge.io. The codebase uses the Apache-2.0 license. Recent development has been quiet since early 2023.
