Ruben Fiszel Goes Solo for Y Combinator W23

Ruben Fiszel, the solo founder of Y Combinator startup Windmill, brings an impressive background in computer science and engineering to his latest venture.

With a top-of-the-class MSc in CS from EPFL and research experience in compilers at Stanford, Ruben went on to build distributed systems at scale at Palantir and run the engineering team at a Multi-Party Computation startup.

At Windmill, Ruben and his small team are competing with well-funded proprietary alternatives such as Airplane, Pipedream, Superblocks, and Retool by creating an open-source developer platform and runtime that turns scripts into workflows and internal tools.

Windmill is an all-in-one queue/worker runtime, script editor, flow builder, secret management platform, OAuth platform credentials in a platform fit for enterprise with groups, granular permission and audit logs.

The platform's main innovation is the automatic generation of UI by reading scripts' parameters, cron scheduling, separation of credentials and logic, versioning, importing scripts from Github and more.

Windmill's OpenFlow specification is the foundation for its powerful workflows, which sequence scripts into modules and enable users to share them on the WindmillHub.

Windmill is designed for fast-paced, iterative, and sustainable software design choices and is built with Rust, Postgres, sandboxing (nsjail), and Svelte for the frontend.
