About Windmill
Windmill hardens for untrusted multi-tenant workloads while sharpening local DX
Windmill is a developer platform for running scripts, flows, and apps, and its recent releases split between enterprise-grade execution hardening and developer ergonomics. The standout is a daemonless, nsjail-sandboxed container runtime that runs arbitrary images without a Docker socket, isolated enough that Docker scripts are now allowed on Windmill Cloud. Around it sit incremental infra wins: smarter Kubernetes scale-in, inbound distributed tracing, remote SSH execution, and audit-log export.
