UI Bakery

UI Bakery is a low-code platform designed for swift development of internal tools and web applications, offering a speed that’s up to 10 times faster than traditional development approaches.

It features a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface, enabling the creation of responsive web apps using a range of pre-designed components and templates.

The platform supports connections to both SQL and NoSQL databases, as well as third-party services and HTTP APIs, without requiring frontend development skills.

Users can design, prototype, and deploy their applications with a single click. Additionally, UI Bakery simplifies the creation of scheduled tasks and webhooks for simple ETL processes, alerting, and other data-centric operations.
