Huginn
Self-hosted agent-based automation system (a Zapier/IFTTT precursor) where 'agents' watch, act on, and react to events. Powerful but shows its age architecturally compared to newer workflow tools.

⚙ Full Stack
Ruby on Rails application with background job processing (Delayed Job/Resque-style) against MySQL or Postgres, where each automation is modeled as a persistent 'Agent' record polled or triggered on schedules.
📈 Scaling Analysis
Scaling is constrained by its single-process background job model — high agent counts create polling contention, and horizontal scaling of workers isn't a first-class, well-documented pattern the way it is in newer workflow engines.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
App pod plus a mysql or postgres pod (postgres.pod:5432); background job processing needs to run as a separate worker process/pod against the same DB. Mirror the Ruby base image via mirror.gcr.io — expect a heavier bundle install during image build.
