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, Workflow Orchestration, Background Jobs, Workflow As Code, and Task Automation.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/zenaton: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
