Quick Start

1. Install Fimaflow and sign in

Download Fimaflow for your operating system. Launch the application, sign in to your account and create your first workspace.

Need more information? See Installation.

2. Build your first workflow

Open the Visual Builder and create a new workflow. Drag an API Endpoint node onto the canvas and set:

endpointMethod: GET
endpointPath:   /hello

Connect it to a Response node, and set its body:

{
  "message": "Hello from Fimaflow!"
}

Click Run. Fimaflow executes the workflow immediately and shows each step live in the built-in debugger:

1. API Endpoint   ✓  received GET /hello
2. Response       ✓  200 { "message": "Hello from Fimaflow!" }

Run finished in 6ms — 2/2 nodes succeeded

Two nodes, no server process to start by hand — the workflow is already listening. See Visual Builder Overview for how the canvas works in general.

3. Add your first database query

Real endpoints usually touch a database. Insert a Database node between the API Endpoint and the Response, set dbMode to local for an instant, zero-config database — no connection string to set up for this first run — then add a SQL node right after it:

sqlMethod: SELECT
table:     users
where:     { id: 1 }

Run the workflow again. The execution panel now shows a third step, with the exact rows the query returned as that node's output — click it to inspect the input, output and timing of every node in the chain, the same way you inspected the first two. See Database for connecting a real remote database once you're past prototyping.

4. Export your backend

Once the workflow behaves the way you expect, turn it into real source code. Pick a framework and export from the builder, or from a terminal:

fimaflow export <workflow-id> --target hono --out ./backend

Supported targets are Hono, Fastify, Express, Elysia and FastAPI — the generated project is a normal, readable codebase with no runtime dependency on Fimaflow. See Framework Export for exactly what gets generated, or Deployment Overview if you'd rather skip exporting and deploy directly from Fimaflow.
