Unify APIs, Jobs, & AI Agents in One Flow

Motia is the single backend runtime where APIs, background jobs, workflows, and AI agents run together as event-driven Steps, in any language, with full observability and state tracing. Build, automate, and evolve all on one platform.

Code-First Backend Infrastructure Framework

Motia is the only event-driven backend where you architect code, AI agents, and background tasks as modular Steps. All tracked, connected, and observable, in real time. Forget rewriting for every new runtime. Run smarter, automate faster, and outgrow chaos.

Code-first agents, APIs & automations

Instantly connect APIs, jobs, and agents as modular Steps, triggered by events, sharing data, and tracked in real time.

Logs

State and logging

Every state change and event is tracked, searchable, and visualized. See exactly what happened, when, and why.

Multi-Language Workflows

Mix TypeScript, Python, JavaScript, and more in the same workflow. Build polyglot backends, all as unified Motia Steps.

Test & deploy with confidence

Test any workflow, any step: automate code, APIs, and agents with guaranteed quality at every layer.

AI-Ready Workflows

Bring AI to your backend: write agentic workflows, leverage Python/Node AI libraries, and connect them directly with APIs and jobs.
