Reviewer scorecard
“Built-in database means zero external dependencies for simple CRUD apps. The automation engine is a nice bonus.”
“Types from server to client with zero code generation. The DX is magical — change a server type, client updates instantly.”
“For simple internal tools that need their own database, Budibase's self-contained approach is practical.”
“For TypeScript full-stack apps, tRPC eliminates an entire category of bugs. No schemas, no codegen, just types.”
“The internal tools market is crowded. Budibase, Appsmith, ToolJet — differentiation is minimal.”
“tRPC proved that type-safe APIs don't need schemas or code generation. The idea is being adopted everywhere.”
