Budibase

Summary
Budibase is an open-source, low-code platform designed for building internal tools and automating workflows. It allows users to connect to various data sources, design applications with a drag-and-drop interface and pre-built components, and automate processes with custom logic. The platform offers flexible deployment options, enterprise-grade security features, and supports code customization.
Rationale
Budibase is a low-code platform for building internal tools and applications, directly aligning with the core concept. It explicitly offers all the must-have features: API & Database Integrations (connecting to 30+ data sources including REST APIs, SQL, NoSQL), Drag-and-Drop UI Builder (with 40+ pre-built components and auto-generate screens), Code Customization (coding optional, but allows JavaScript anywhere), Access Control & Security (SSO, RBAC, ISO 27001 certified), and Flexible Deployments (self-hosting via Docker/Kubernetes or Budibase Cloud). Additionally, it offers all the 'other' features such as debugging tools (automation logs), version control integration (Git integration mentioned in docs), audit logs & analytics, workflow automation, mobile-responsive support, prebuilt components, AI app assistant, custom theming & branding, and partner portals.
