Build custom business apps in minutes, not months.
What is Budibase?
Budibase is an open-source low-code platform for building internal business applications. It enables users to create custom web applications such as admin panels, forms, and portals by connecting to data sources and designing interfaces. The platform is designed to automate workflows and manage data without requiring extensive traditional programming.
Users typically interact with Budibase through a visual builder. They can connect to existing databases or spreadsheets, design application interfaces using pre-built components, and set up automations. The system then generates the functional web application. The tool is developed by the team behind the official Budibase website, which provides its documentation and distribution.
