Automation Application (Zapier Clone)

Overview

Designed and developed a scalable automation platform inspired by Zapier, enabling users to create customizable workflows by configuring triggers and actions. Implemented one trigger (Webhook) and one action (Send Email) for seamless automation.

Key Highlights

• Built an intuitive React-based UI using Next.js and TailwindCSS for effortless creation and management of triggers and actions.
• Implemented a robust event-driven architecture: webhook triggers enqueue tasks into Apache Kafka topics, which are then processed asynchronously by a worker service to execute actions reliably.
• Integrated SendGrid SDK for sending emails based on trigger data, automating user workflows.
• Leveraged TypeScript and Turborepo for type-safe, modular development and monorepo management across frontend and backend codebases.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: Next.js, TypeScript, TailwindCSS
• Backend: Node.js, Apache Kafka
• Email Service: SendGrid SDK
• Database: PostgreSQL (Prisma ORM)
• Architecture: Monorepo (Turborepo)
