Low-code platform for building internal tools and workflows
Open-source low-code platform that helps engineers build forms, portals, and approval apps in minutes. Connect to databases, automate workflows, and deploy anywhere.

Budibase is a low-code platform designed for engineers who need to ship internal applications quickly without sacrificing control. Unlike traditional no-code tools, Budibase generates real single-page applications with built-in performance and responsive design.
Pull data from PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, CouchDB, DynamoDB, Airtable, S3, REST APIs, or start from scratch with Budibase's internal database. Use pre-built components to design interfaces, then automate workflows with built-in triggers, webhooks, and email integrations. The platform includes a public API that lets you use Budibase as a backend or integrate it into existing systems.
Self-host on Docker, Kubernetes, or Digital Ocean for full control over your infrastructure, user management, and security. Alternatively, Budibase Cloud offers a managed option for teams that want to start building immediately. Licensed under GPL v3 (with client libraries under MPL), Budibase is extensible—fork it, customize it, or build plugins to fit your exact requirements.
When teams consider Budibase, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Customer Support Portal
Connect to your PostgreSQL database and build a ticket management interface in hours, with automated email notifications and role-based access control
Inventory Management System
Pull data from multiple sources (MySQL inventory, S3 images, REST API for suppliers) into a unified dashboard with approval workflows
Employee Onboarding App
Create forms, checklists, and document upload interfaces that trigger automated workflows for IT provisioning and HR notifications
Data Entry and Validation Tool
Build custom forms connected to MongoDB with validation rules, automating data quality checks and downstream integrations via webhooks
Yes, Budibase provides a public API that allows you to use it as a backend service, enabling interoperability with external applications and systems.
Budibase connects to MongoDB, CouchDB, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, Airtable, S3, DynamoDB, and REST APIs. You can also use the internal database to start from scratch.
Budibase core is GPL v3, but client and component libraries are MPL-licensed, allowing you to license your built applications however you choose.
Yes, Budibase supports self-hosting via Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes, Digital Ocean, and Portainer, giving you full control over deployment and security.
Budibase builds real single-page applications with native performance rather than embedded tools. It's open-source, extensible, and designed for developers who need both speed and control.
