UI Bakery

UI Bakery is a powerful and flexible low-code platform designed by developers, for developers. It significantly accelerates the process of building custom web applications such as internal tools, admin panels, customer portals, and dashboards. The platform's core philosophy is to combine the speed of low-code development with the power and flexibility that professional developers require, eliminating repetitive tasks and allowing teams to focus on business logic.

Originating from a team with a strong background in open-source projects like ngx-admin and Nebular, UI Bakery has evolved into a comprehensive solution that caters to a wide range of business needs, from startups to large enterprises. It offers both cloud-hosted and self-hosted (on-premise) deployment options, ensuring data security and compliance with specific organizational requirements. Recently, the platform has integrated powerful AI capabilities, including an AI App Generator, to further streamline the development process.

How to use UI Bakery

Developing an application with UI Bakery follows a straightforward, multi-stage process:

1. Connect Your Data: Start by connecting to your data sources. UI Bakery provides over 30 native integrations, including SQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.), NoSQL databases, any REST or GraphQL API, and various third-party services.
2. Build the User Interface: Utilize the intuitive drag-and-drop UI builder. Choose from a library of over 75 pre-built, responsive components like tables, forms, charts, and containers to design complex interfaces without writing CSS or JavaScript frameworks from scratch.
3. Define Business Logic: Implement application logic using a hybrid approach. Use UI Bakery's visual action builder for common CRUD operations, conditional logic, and data iteration. For more complex requirements, write custom JavaScript or Python code directly within the platform.
4. Leverage AI Features: Accelerate development with the AI App Generator, which creates functional applications from text prompts based on your data structure. Use built-in AI actions for tasks like text summarization, classification, and data extraction.
5. Version Control and Collaborate: Integrate your project with a Git repository (like GitHub or GitLab). This enables Gitflow-style branching, parallel development, version history tracking, and seamless synchronization between different instances.
6. Deploy and Manage: Deploy your application to end-users with a single click. Manage user access with granular roles and permissions, and publish updates to different environments (e.g., development, staging, production) effortlessly.
