About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

Budibase is an operations platform for connecting databases/APIs and building internal apps, business workflows, automations, and AI agents, with managed cloud and Docker/Kubernetes self-hosting.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Build internal apps visually on top of data sources

Databases and APIs can feed forms, tables, dashboards, and other operational interfaces through the low-code builder.

Sources: [2][3]

Run business operations through automations and AI agents

Requests, approvals, record updates, notifications, and similar workflows can be executed through automation/agent logic.

Sources: [2][3]

For consolidating internal tools, workflows, and AI automation on one platform

It suits teams that do not want CRUD applications and business-process automation maintained as separate stacks.

Sources: [2]

Check GPL/MPL/BSL package boundaries and paid features

Core, generated-app libraries, and paid features have different licenses. packages/pro uses BSL and restricts production use intended to bypass licensing controls.

Supplemental curator note

The repository does not use one license throughout. Budibase core is broadly GPLv3, client/component packages shipped into generated apps use MPL-2.0, and paid features under `packages/pro` use the Business Source License. Package-level licensing should be checked, so the repository is recorded as `NOASSERTION`.
