ToolJet

ToolJet is an open-source web app and server that provides a platform for building internal tools, dashboards, and admin panels. It uses a visual builder with a drag-and-drop interface to create custom applications, allowing teams to manage data and automate business processes without writing extensive boilerplate code.

The software is deployed as a server-side application. Users can choose a managed cloud version or self-host the platform using Docker and Kubernetes. It is compatible with a wide range of infrastructure providers, including AWS EC2, AWS ECS, Digital Ocean, Google Cloud Run, and Azure Container instances, providing flexibility in how the environment is managed and scaled.

Key features

• Visual app builder with over 60 responsive components like tables, charts, and forms
• Built-in no-code database via ToolJet Database for rapid data modeling
• Connectivity to 80+ data sources including SQL databases, APIs, and SaaS tools
• Multi-page application support with collaborative multiplayer editing
• Ability to run JavaScript and Python directly within applications for custom logic
• Extensibility through a dedicated CLI for creating custom plugins and connectors
• AES-256-GCM encryption and SSO support for secure data handling

Built with TypeScript, React, and NestJS, the platform is designed for developers and operations teams who need to create internal interfaces quickly. It utilizes a proxy-only data flow to ensure secure communication between the user interface and connected data sources, preventing direct exposure of credentials. The architecture supports the integration of various object storage options and cloud databases, making it suitable for organizations that need to aggregate data from multiple fragmented environments into a single administrative view.

ToolJet is a flexible low-code framework for teams requiring a self-hosted foundation for their internal business operations and data management.
