Zenaton

Zenaton was a workflow-as-code SaaS that let developers orchestrate background jobs, asynchronous tasks, and long-running business processes directly in application code (Node.js, Python, PHP, Ruby, Go) rather than wiring queues and cron by hand. Founded in France and backed by Accel and Point Nine, it processed 10M+ workflow executions monthly across 100+ companies. The product is now DISCONTINUED: the API and app hosts (api.zenaton.com / app.zenaton.com) no longer resolve, the client SDK repositories are archived (last active ~2020), and the zenaton.com domain redirects to co-founder Gilles Barbier's personal site. This profile is retained as verified history — the archived first-party SDKs remain published on npm, PyPI, Packagist, RubyGems, and pkg.go.dev.

Zenaton is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Apis, Workflow Orchestration, Background Jobs, and Workflow As Code.
