Rationale
Appsmith is an open-source low-code platform that directly competes with Retool. It offers all the 'must-have' features such as API & Database Integrations, Drag-and-Drop UI Builder, Code Customization (JavaScript, queries), Access Control & Security (SSO, RBAC), and Flexible Deployments (self-hosting, Docker, Kubernetes). Additionally, it provides many 'other' features like debugging tools, version control with Git, audit logs, workflow automation, mobile-responsive support, prebuilt widgets (React components), AI integrations, custom theming/branding, and external client portals.
