I haven’t used it for a while as I stopped using low code tools since ChatGPT’s release, but I remember:
- the final application is a bit slow to load, there is a lot of code.
- it uses mongodb internally. I don’t like having mongodb on my stacks.
- the docker and kubernetes deployments were not following best practices. They ran everything, even mongodb and redis, in a stateful container with a process manager inside the container.
- version controlling the apps wasn’t trivial.
- some features weren’t open source so I had to quickly hack them again.
I found retool, proprietary, to be better if you can afford it.
I use them both. I use ChatGPT to do the big parts like the SQL schema and some boilerplate. It works better in Python with fastAPI than Rust with Axum though.
