Is Composio Unreliable and Can I Manage Multiple Connections for Various Customers with Pipedream?

This topic was automatically generated from Slack. You can find the original thread here.

This seems like composio, is that an accurate assessment? I was looking at using them but apparently they have some pretty serious reliability issues. Can I manage multiple connections for each one of multiple different customers with pipedream?

We have a number of product offerings, but it sounds like you’re asking about Pipedream Connect? Can you tell me more about your use case?

yes this looks about right

I’m building a conversational AI platform and want to support things like CRM integrations and calendar scheduling for each of my different customers, which means i need to let them separately connect tot hese integrations

in some cases a single customer may even have > 1 connection, e.g. 2 different connected calendar integrations for two different agents

Got it, yea that makes sense. On the managed auth side that’s not a problem to support multiple connected accounts for individual users, would you be looking to call prebuilt tools via API / SDK? Are you looking into MCP at all?

prebuilt tools most likely. MCP is not great for production deployment for us for a variety of reasons - statefulness, unreliable transport, doesn’t play well with serverless, etc.

yeah connect looks like a great fit with pre-built tools.

for tools that require OAuth, can we use our own OAuth credentials if we want a branded experience, or do we use pipedream’s or do we have the option to do either?

I hear you on this, just FYI we’re rolling out support for streamable HTTP now, and I believe you can manage state if you want to. We basically have our own remote hosted servers that live at mcp.pipedream.com, but you can also deploy our server to your own app (here’s a reference implementation for how that works)

Up to you — we have Pipedream OAuth clients for most OAuth apps, you’re always able to use your own: GitHub

sweet, this is awesome. exactly what I was looking for. Tell your GTM team to run some ads on “composio” and keywords related to them - they just had a massive outage (18 hours iirc) and their discord is full of people griping about things not working. I joined and immediately bounced bc of that.

I spent 30 minutes searching for alternatives and pipedream never came up, but I wish it had. Only found y’all when I had gemini do some deep research.

Good to know, thanks for the info!

like please, make it easier to find the connect product

tons of people are looking for this and I almost didn’t find it

We’re working on that :slightly_smiling_face: :pray::skin-tone-2:

when is the react connect SDK expected to be stable? @pipedream/connect-react - npm

looks really awesome, checking out the demo now

seems like connect would be difficult to implement without it

Oops we should remove that disclaimer, thanks for flagging — we just shipped the first stable version last week, we’ve had customers using it in production for a few months now.
