Connectors are the device-facing node class third parties write, so the surface they build against is versioned and documented: ConnectorNode carries a declared contract version, a polling loop that publishes only what changed and reports health around it, and parameters whose credential fields are marked x-secret so the editor offers the secrets store instead of a text box. They are found through the fluksio.node_types entry point group, with the package's own metadata as the manifest. docs/connectors/ has the contract and the authoring guide; connector-skeleton/ is a working one to copy. The controller no longer knows what any node type is: start, stop and report_health are protocol methods on Node, and the built-ins were migrated to them first, so the hooks a connector implements are the ones the engine has been driving all along. Marking a node reusable moves its source to _lib/ and points the node at it by name. Other flows instantiate it with their own ports and settings, one fix reaches all of them, and a shared source still in use cannot be deleted. Ports gained an interval: an output publishes, and an input wakes its node, at most every n seconds. State keeps the latest value, so only the delivery is skipped, and pressing Run is never throttled. Also fixes autosave sending no version on its first save of a session, which made every flow saved more than once conflict with itself. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Fluksio App
Fluksio has the goal to build a revolutionary system to tackle any sort of automation challenge.
The core of Fluksio: a node-based, test-driven automation software built to scale. This
repo holds the FastAPI backend, the flow engine, and the dashboard SPA. It is served on
app.${DOMAIN} (SPA) and api.${DOMAIN} (API); the marketing site lives in the sibling
index repo.
Layout
backend/ FastAPI + SQLModel + Alembic + Postgres
app/flow/ the flow engine (nodes, pipeline, state backends, controller)
frontend/ React 19 + TanStack Router + Tailwind 4 + shadcn/ui
docker/ compose.yml → compose.dev.yml → compose.local.yml (+ compose.traefik.yml)
scripts/ generate-client.sh, test.sh
Getting started
Normally driven from the workspace root (make init once, then make dev). Standalone:
make install # uv sync + bun install
make dev-utils # db, adminer, proxy, mailcatcher, prestart only
make dev-backend # FastAPI on :8000, hot reload
make dev-frontend # Vite on :5173
make test # pytest + Playwright
make lint # ruff + mypy + biome
make generate-client # regenerate the frontend SDK from the OpenAPI schema
make help lists every target.
