The next-generation platform for automating and integrating everything with Slack is out of beta and generally available to developers, giving developers more ways to build, code and ship custom apps and workflows faster and easier in an environment that’s both secure and compliant.

The new platform provides:

- A new modular architecture grounded in building blocks like functions, triggers and workflows. They’re remixable, reusable, and hook into everything flowing in and out of Slack.

- A faster, more intuitive developer experience, including new tools like the Slack CLI and TypeScript SDK that simplify and clarify the most tedious parts of building on top of Slack.

- Secure deployment, data storage and authentication powered by Slack-managed serverless infrastructure. And a fast, Deno-based TypeScript runtime keeps you focused on your code and your users.

- A flexible user experience that makes it easy to share what you built anywhere in Slack. Add a link trigger and your workflow becomes portable—you can share it in a message, add it to your bookmarks, put it in a canvas and more.

This is just the beginning of Slack's vision to put the power of automation directly into the hands of users. Eventually, the functions and workflows that developers can now create will become infinitely remixable as users can use them "lego-style" to power their own custom automations.
