  Budibase is an open-source low code platform that helps you build internal tools in minutes 🚀

  

The argument will continue to raise its head and it's a fair argument. But I think it is important that we evaluate on a per use case perspective.

For example, for simple CRUD apps/internal tools, use a low code platform like budibase (https://github.com/Budibase/budibase). For building a SaaS platform, with relative complexity, that your business is built on, I would venture towards code.

I remember a few (a lot) of years ago when Drupal / Wordpress came into the world. The same questions were asked, but today they solve a problem and they're simply easier to build a site with.

What I do feel is important, is the extensibility of the no/low code platform. I am the cofounder of Budibase and from the beginning, we set out to build an open source, extensible low code platform for a specific use case (crud apps/internal tools). We believe if a tool is a part of the development stack, it should be open source (for obvious reasons).
