Rationale
Five is a low-code development platform that explicitly states its ability to connect to various data sources including external databases and REST APIs, offers visual tools and pre-built front-end layouts (drag-and-drop UI), allows for extensive custom code in JavaScript, TypeScript, and SQL, and provides one-click cloud deployment. It also mentions user management, access control, and the ability to build business partner portals. While not explicitly detailed, the 'User Management' and 'Tools' sections imply security and debugging capabilities. The platform's focus on rapid application development for internal and external users aligns well with the Retool concept.
