Rationale

Bubble is a strong match for Retool's concept as it is a no-code platform for building web and mobile applications. It explicitly offers drag-and-drop UI building, API and database integrations, security features like SOC 2 Type II compliance and data encryption, and flexible deployment options (though not as granular as Retool's VPC/VPN options, it handles hosting and scaling). While it emphasizes 'no-code', it allows for complex logic and workflows, which aligns with the spirit of code customization for business logic. It also offers many 'other' features like AI assistance, version control, mobile responsiveness, and the ability to build partner/customer portals.
