I'm looking for a free web-based solutions for little etl / mashup tasks. An example could be:
- connect to an api
- filter response
- using data as input to another api
It's something similar to now not working yahoo pipes and for me is important to have and interface for designers with little code ability (mostly javascript)
Note: I've found this paper with a lot of ideas on this field and some comparison between existing products
Ballerina is a programming language custom built for integration, that includes a mature graphical syntax. It can easily be used to glue interfaces together. Since your requirement is to have such a mashup interface in the cloud you can utilize the WSO2 Integration Cloud free trial program to see if its right for you.
I've written a post here that demonstrates how easy it is to use Ballerina for scraping data from interfaces, you can create a service that's similar in logic and host it in the cloud. Find information on the WSO2 Integration Cloud usage here. Find information on serving a ballerina service from the cloud here.
