I saw this in the developers forum so thought I would extend to no/low code. I will start:
Webflow:
NoCodeDB (my own internal backend highly integrated into Webflow) for Database, Auth and to integrate backend api
Backend handcoded wherever needed (usually with Python, NodeJS or Julia)
Bubble:
Handcoded backend usually on Heroku/Digitalocean in Python Flask or Node Express
Custom plugins for components not native in bubble
Draftbit (for mobile apps):
NodeJS backend with everything run through firebase
What about you guys?
We use our own product Fireapis as a low code backend, especially for the user authentication flow, billing, and mailing systems.
Googlesheets: Quick database, lists
DronaHQ : For custom apps, internal tools, automations (Disclaimer I work here)
I see a lot of people utilizing google sheets and airtable. We have a product that some of our clients are using we are thinking of taking it out of private and releasing to the world called Titansheets. It turns a google sheet into a machine learning app with UI, etc.
Hi! here are some of the articles about NoCode tools :)
https://www.nocodejournal.com/categories/tools
I think there are several other options that you add to this list.
Back4App - With the powerful backing of Parse Platform and its servers, Back4App is a simple to use backend low-code stack that you can use to build web and mobile applications. Its real-time database support, cloud functions, authentication and spreadsheet-like interface are remarkable.
Firebase - It is also one of my favourite low-code app development platforms that comes with the powerful backing of Google and its cloud products. It's NoSQL and real-time databases are amazing to build mobile, desktop, gaming and web applications.
Backendless - This is also a good low-code platform that I found in this list https://blog.back4app.com/low-code-backend/ and it basically works as a BaaS platform for visual programming, APIs and Cloud Functions.
Some other low-code stacks are Heroku, Google App Engine, Airtable and Xano.
This post comes at the right time.. I just built my first integration using our own tool Procesio to connect an Airtable to manage our social media content.. nothing very impressive but as our tool is in beta it's a good poc for us
I'm building getsets.co which is 99% Bubble, 1% Zapier. It's great that they talk to each other so easily as Zapier has allowed me to do a few final things that Bubble just can't manage.
Wappler.io to build APIs, build UI and integrate those APIs with it. It does have a DB manager built in - but prefer to use DBeaver to manage database for better fine tuned control. its not no-code entirely, it is kinda low-code (this word is not well defined) but a non developer person without tech background can get it to work with some learning curve.

Interesting! Looks nice.
