“For simple internal tools that need their own database, Budibase's self-contained approach is practical.”
“Building real-time collaboration from scratch is brutal. Liveblocks abstracts the hard parts with a clean API.”
“The internal tools market is crowded. Budibase, Appsmith, ToolJet — differentiation is minimal.”
