About

Retool is the AI-native enterprise app development platform where teams build and ship production-ready apps — at AI speed, with enterprise governance built in. Describe what you need and get a working app, import React-based apps from Lovable, Replit, or Claude Code, or connect your AI agent via MCP. However your team builds, every app lands in Retool with RBAC, SSO, audit logging, and your existing permissions already in place. Retool connects to databases, APIs, LLMs, and external tools out of the box. Teams can build AI agents, dashboards, workflows, and full-stack apps — with a visual editor for speed and direct code access for precision. Trusted by over 10,000 organizations including Amazon, Stripe, DoorDash, and OpenAI to get AI-built apps safely to production.

About

dbFront is a RAD (Rapid Application Development) tool specifically designed for use by DBA's and Analysts. dbFront requires no code, is simple to administer, and is straightforward for users. dbFront can be locally installed or hosted via Azure, Amazon or the hosting service of your choice. dbFront connects to your own data and your own security infrastructure. No 3rd party dependencies. With dbFront, you can quickly build a client application for your existing database that is immediately useful. In addition, dbFront dynamically updates itself as your database changes.
