3. neon

   2 176 16,898 10.0 Rust

   Neon: Serverless Postgres. We separated storage and compute to offer autoscaling, code-like database branching, and scale to zero.

   

   Retool works well -- they have their own version of SDLC in the $10 plan (staging versions of resources.) If you hook that up to something like Neon (https://neon.tech/), you can have staging branches of a database, as well.

   The issue I have with many of these products is that a lot of the logic should actually sit closer to the backend (ie. better REST APIs, etc.) If your engineering team is managing the backend anyways, it shouldn't be a huge issue maybe?

   I made an investment here (moving the non-UI logic closer to the database) but it's too early to really see if it will work.

4. Forest Admin

   3 15 375 8.8 Ruby

   💎 Ruby on Rails agent for Forest Admin to integrate directly to your existing Ruby on Rails backend application.

   

   Disclaimer: I'm the founder of (Forest Admin)[https://www.forestadmin.com].

   Wow, I'm impressed by the number of solutions out there. Back at the beginning of Forest Admin, we were alone on the market, which is generally not a good sign. But our perseverance paid off, and it was definitely worth it in the end!

   Alright, so why Forest Admin? :)

   Because we only focus on the admin panel use case. Not the entire internal tools world. In this way, we are able to provide a fully-featured SaaS Admin panel out of the box. No need to build it, nor with code, nor with low/no code tools.

   Even if your app, internal processes and so your admin panel is specific, we have designed our solution accordingly with 2 things that are part of our DNA from the beginning:

   1/ We generate all the backend code required to an admin panel. All CRUD routes, filtering & search, dashboarding, permissions, etc. Everything is automatically generated in a few seconds based on datasource introspection. In the end, the generated code is just a standard REST API, so you can extend/override it without any limitations.

   2/ We pre-built the admin UI with every admin standard features available out of the box, with a big focus on providing a great UI/UX possible for operational people. We obviously also provide all the low/no code features to customize pretty much anything. We also provide a feature called "Workspace" (which is generally the core of what our competitors do) that allow users build custom views using drag'n'drop of UI components from scratch.

5. jsonapi-serializer

   4 1 736 5.0 JavaScript

   A Node.js framework agnostic library for (de)serializing your data to JSON API (by SeyZ)

   

   I recognized the name, thank you for jsonapi-serializer!

   Any reason you’re not adding maintainers?

   Feels sad that one of the most useful JavaScript libraries in JSON API spec is dead for 2-3 years. There are people lined up to support, fix and keep improving it. I think I even wrote you an email about this with no response :(

6. platform

   5 3 101 9.3 Java

   Dashjoin Is an Open Source & Cloud Native Low Code Development and Integration Platform that helps teams deliver applications faster 🚀 Uses a data-driven approach inspired by Linked Data to make use of your existing assets (by dashjoin)

   

   Disclaimer: I'm the creator of Dashjoin (https://github.com/dashjoin/platform)

   Implementing the features you mentioned:

   Once you connect your SQL / NoSQL database, you're immediately able to view, query, search, and edit the data. Every record implicitly has a "homepage". On this page, you can add active elements to automate tasks via REST services. We do this using JSONata (jsonata.org) which is a super expressive and concise transformation and query language. You can find some samples in our demo application (https://github.com/dashjoin/dashjoin-demo).

   The core philosophy is to get immediate results and refine from there, depending on your cost / benefit calculation.

   SDLC:

   I think this is a very important point! Even though you're working with low code, it is still a development project with testing, staging, and production, issues, tickets, etc.
