Rationale
8base is a strong match for Retool's concept of a low-code platform for building internal applications. It explicitly offers a 'full-stack, low-code development platform for building and running web applications' and highlights features like GraphQL API integration, custom functions (code customization), drag-and-drop UI builder, and flexible deployment options (self-hosted). The pricing page also details features like role-based permissions (access control & security), CI/CD (version control), audit logs, and mobile-responsive design. The 'Archie AI' feature directly aligns with the AI-Generated App Assistant. While not explicitly stated as 'internal tools', the platform's capabilities and target audience (developers, companies, agencies) align with building custom business applications.
