✨ Features
When other platforms chose the closed source route, we decided to go open source. When other platforms chose cloud builders, we decided a local builder offered the better developer experience. We like to do things differently at Budibase.
-
Build and ship real software. Unlike other platforms, with Budibase you build and ship single page applications. Budibase applications have performance baked in and can be designed responsively, providing your users with a great experience.
-
Open source and extensable. Budibase is open-source. The builder is licensed AGPL v3, the server is GPL v3, and the client is MPL. This should fill you with confidence that Budibase will always be around. You can also code against Budibase or fork it and make changes as you please, providing a developer-friendly experience.
-
Load data or start from scratch. Budibase pulls in data from multiple sources, including MongoDB, CouchDB, PostgreSQL, mySQL, Airtable, Google Sheets, S3, DyanmoDB, or a REST API. And unlike other platforms, with Budibase you can start from scratch and create business apps with no data sources. Request new data sources.
-
Design and build apps with powerful pre-made components. Budibase comes out of the box with beautifully designed, powerful components which you can use like building blocks to build your UI. We also expose a lot of your favourite CSS styling options so you can go that extra creative mile. Request new components.
-
Automate processes, integrate with other tools, and connect to webhooks. Save time by automating manual processes and workflows. From connecting to webhooks, to automating emails, simply tell Budibase what to do and let it work for you. You can easily create new automations for Budibase here or request new integrations here.
-
Cloud hosting and self-hosting. Users can self-host (see below), or host their apps with Budibase. Currently, our cloud hosting offering is limited to the free tier but we aim to change this in the future. For heavy usage, we advise users to self-host.

🤖 Self-hosting
Budibase wants to make sure anyone can use the tools we develop and we know a lot of people need to be able to host the apps they make on their own systems - that is why we've decided to try and make self hosting as easy as possible!
Currently, you can host your apps using Docker or Digital Ocean. The documentation for self-hosting can be found here.

How the repository is organized
Budibase is a monorepo managed by lerna. Lerna manages the building and publishing of the budibase packages. At a high level, here are the packages that make up Budibase.
-
packages/builder - contains code for the budibase builder client side svelte application.
-
packages/client - A module that runs in the browser responsible for reading JSON definition and creating living, breathing web apps from it.
-
packages/server - The budibase server. This Koa app is responsible for serving the JS for the builder and budibase apps, as well as providing the API for interaction with the database and file system.
For more information, see CONTRIBUTING.md
📝 License
Budibase is open-source. The builder is licensed AGPL v3, the server is licensed GPL v3, and the client is licensed MPL.
