Overview
Budibase is an open-source, low-code platform designed for rapidly building internal tools and automating workflows. It allows users to connect to various data sources, including external databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB), REST APIs, and CSV files, or to start from scratch with its built-in database. The platform provides a drag-and-drop interface with over 40 pre-built components to design responsive applications that work across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. Budibase offers features like role-based access control, SSO, SAML, and audit logs to ensure enterprise-grade security and scalability. It enables the creation of management apps, portals, approval flows, forms, and admin panels with coding optional, promoting collaboration between engineers and technical support teams. Users can extend functionality with JavaScript, plugins, and a Public API for backend use and interoperability. Budibase applications can be self-hosted via Docker or Kubernetes or managed through Budibase's cloud service.
