Detailed Review

Cloudomation is written for people who would rather express a workflow as Python than click through a visual canvas.

Every workflow is a Python script using Cloudomation's own worker/task model to call APIs, wait on events, retry on failure and pass state between steps — version-controlled, testable and reviewable the way application code is, which a drag-and-drop builder cannot offer. The intended buyer is a platform engineering team automating deployments, infrastructure changes and internal tooling, not a sales or operations team looking for a Zapier replacement.

The company behind the Cloudomation brand is Starflows OG, based in Vienna and registered with the Vienna Commercial Court; the product was officially established in 2019 after two years of development by founders Stefan and Margot Mückstein.

Cloudomation runs as a cloud service, priced from €449 a month for the entry Start tier up to €1,799 for Premium, or the same tiers self-hosted from €649 a month — both excluding VAT and billed annually. There is no free trial; prospective customers get a free initial consultation instead, which is a sales conversation rather than a hands-on evaluation.

What Cloudomation does well

  • Workflows are version-controlled Python, not a visual canvas
  • Both cloud and on-premise deployment at every tier
  • Full price list published for every tier
  • Austrian company, EU jurisdiction
  • Built specifically for platform engineering, not generic app automation

Where Cloudomation falls short

  • No free trial, only a sales consultation
  • Requires Python fluency, unlike no-code tools
  • Small vendor with a narrow, technical audience
  • Starts at €449/month, a higher floor than most tools here

Standout feature. Workflows as reviewable Python: Cloudomation is the only tool in this category built for platform engineers who want infrastructure automation in version control, not a canvas.
