Introduction to Zoho Circuit
What is Zoho Circuit?
Zoho circuit is a platform for integrating microservices to create automated workflows. With sophisticated flow controls, you can create custom applications or processes as workflows, without writing any code.
Workflows created in Zoho Circuit are state machines that maintain the states of each step where the output of one step acts as input to another. State machines help you create smart workflows that can retry, wait, or make decisions when there is an error.
Key functionalities in Zoho Circuit
Customize without Code
You can create applications and workflows by integrating your microservices without writing a single line of code. Zoho Circuit empowers you to connect the microservices, functions, or circuits developed in multiple platforms, without the need to write code for integration.
Intuitive Flow & Functional Controls
Zoho Circuit offers you a bunch of controls that you can simply drag and drop into your workflows. While flow controls like branch, parallel, and batch helps you to create complex workflows in seconds, Functional controls such as API webhook, Function creation, and Circuit addition allow you to create real-time, connected workflows.
You can also create smart workflows that can handle errors automatically using the retry, wait, and success-failure options.
Develop with or without code
Zoho Circuit provides the independence to build applications with or without code. You can build by selecting controls and entering values. Alternatively, you can choose to build using simple JSON codes in Code View. In addition, Zoho Circuit also provides developing environments for creating functions. This Function as a Service(FaaS) is supported for programming languages - Deluge, Go, Java, Node JS, and Python.
Benefits of having Zoho Circuit
Automate your routines
Convert all your manual routines to automated workflows to save time. Avoid the need to trigger or interrupt applications to control the system flow, as you can create smooth-sailing, smart workflows that control themselves.
Scale fast
Handle any number of requests hassle free as your workflows get executed on cloud. While Zoho Circuit dynamically allocates resources on need, you can focus more on building your applications, rather than managing them.
Update in minutes
Building the business logic of your applications in workflows empowers you to update the applications quickly. Swap or reorganize the components easily and build the modified applications in minutes.
