Reviewer scorecard
“Full BaaS that you can self-host. Functions, auth, storage, and databases with good SDKs.”
“Built-in database means zero external dependencies for simple CRUD apps. The automation engine is a nice bonus.”
“Solid Firebase alternative that's open source and self-hostable. The Docker-based deployment is straightforward.”
“For simple internal tools that need their own database, Budibase's self-contained approach is practical.”
“Open-source BaaS is the right model. Appwrite and Supabase represent the future of backend services.”
“The internal tools market is crowded. Budibase, Appsmith, ToolJet — differentiation is minimal.”
