budibase VS Seaweed File System

Budibase is great at generating CRUD apps based on a model.

Congratulations to the Airplane team.

Is this Airtable moving in the direction of low-code rather than no code? Puts them up against tools like Budibase [https://github.com/Budibase/budibase] and Retool [Https://retool.com]

I skipped to chapter 9 in the article ("Clogged"), and it looked like Pipes failed because it didn't have a large enough team or a well-defined mission. As a result they couldn't offer a super robust product that would lure in enterprise users. "You could not purchase some number of guaranteed-to-work Pipes calls per month" is the quote from the article.

The reason I think that interesting is because that's the model these days for everything from AI tokens to Monday.com seats. It makes me feel like Pipes was before its time.

That said I've been collecting different "business glue" products that are similar to Pipes. To me, like you say, they aren't as interesting, exciting and intuitive as Pipes was, but maybe it just takes a little more digging. I tried to focus on open source tools but some aren't.

Budibase is open-source, including the workflow platform which has helped accelerate thousands of workflows already:

Also missing these app builders, both of which are open source but offer managed hosting:

FYI: Planning to move from github.com/chrislusf/seaweedfs to github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs in the coming days. It may cause some problem for package reference, building, documents, and links. Sorry for the change!

Besides storage itself, S3 API access cost can be high if frequently accessed. And latency is unpredicatble.

You can use SeaweedFS Remote Object Store Gateway to cache S3 (or any S3 API compatible vendors) to local servers, and access them at local network speed, and asynchronously sync back to S3.

If you are looking at MinIO you might find SeaweedFS interesting as well.

I believe what you want is a horizontally scalable object store with tiered storage. SeaweedFS is free / open source https://github.com/chrislusf/seaweedfs

I don't know if it fits all of your requests, but you can take a look at seaweedfs, which is pretty good

Seaweedfs deserves a mention here for comparison as well.
