The new extensible Flatfile Data Exchange Platform enables developers to build fully customizable, powerful workflows that address any file-based import use case.
Hey Product Hunt Community,
Exciting news! We're launching the Flatfile Data Exchange Platform, a powerful set of APIs, open source plugins, and event streams that empower developers to solve any data exchange challenge. From simple import buttons to complex enterprise workflows, our platform has you covered.
As those of you who have been following Flatfile know, we started with an embeddable CSV importer, and the overwhelming response showed us we were addressing a real market need. As Flatfile grew, we realized handling complex scenarios involving multiple stakeholders and intricate workflows couldn’t be solved with a one-size-fits-all solution.
Taking everything we learned from our existing solutions and leveraging insights from hundreds of customers, we created the Flatfile Data Exchange Platform. This platform puts developers in full control of the user experience, business logic, and data flow, all without the hassle of having to build it from scratch.
Key decisions we made with the new platform:
- API-first: Enabling seamless integration into any existing application or system, and adaptability to meet future needs or changes.
- Event-driven architecture: Providing complete control at every step of the data flow and user journey, while also offering easier testing, monitoring and debugging.
- Yes code: The ultimate flexibility to collect, clean, validate, and convert data. Every process is driven by reusable code - roll your own or use community plugins.
Flatfile now starts completely free for everyone, with a simple pay-as-you-grow pricing model for when you need more than what the free plan provides. Flatfile is now accessible to companies of all sizes, from large enterprises, to one person startups.
I invite developers to try out the platform and witness its capabilities firsthand. Let us know what you think. I can’t wait to see the remarkable things you build with Flatfile.

Congratulations to the Flatfile team for launching a data exchange platform! Your journey from CSV importer to a full-fledged platform 🎉 and empowering developers is great news. We're looking forward to developer solutions with Flatfile! 🚀🌟
amazing - huge expansion from the csv importer people loved to this platform which seems to let you do most things you can think of around data exchange
love the developer-first approach here too: customizable code, api- and event-driven, reasonable pricing, etc
congrats to the team!
Congrats!
I’ve been playing around with the platform since beta and have been blown away by the extensibility.
Having everything event driven and being able to use my own code to power everything is unlike anything else out there. This is the next generation in what developer solutions will look like.

Personally always been a big fan of the event driven architecture, so huge congratulations on building it out pretty effectively. Would love to see you guys do processing of large files through async methods on your API, and excited to see how you guys plan to work with other random file types other than the common ones (many such use cases are coming).
Congratulations on the launch.
