Welcome back to day 2 of the Budibase 3.0 launch week. Yesterday, we covered the brand-new data experience in Budibase, and today, we’re continuing the excitement with a new and improved RBAC (role-based access control) experience. Managing user permissions is one of the most important aspects of building secure applications. Ensuring that users have the right level of access is crucial for protecting sensitive data and maintaining the integrity of your app.

Beginners Guide to Web Application Development (2025)

It was the year 2010, I had an idea for a web application which would allow my family and I to share images, organise shopping, populate a shared calendar, and store bills. My family was terribly disorganised. We needed this! This idea was going to make me 💰💰💰. There was a small complication with my vision - I didn’t know how to build a web application. But thankfully, I could build a static site with HTML and CSS so it couldn’t be that hard, right?

Build a Free SQL GUI in 5 Steps

SQL is a powerful query language that’s used to unlock valuable insights stored in databases. No matter how large our database is or what we’re using it for, we need a streamlined, accessible way to interact with our data. But we also need to do this in a controlled, secure manner. That’s where an effective SQL GUI comes in. A GUI - graphical user interface - is an application that allows us to interact visually with our data, rather than relying solely on written commands.

Vendors inevitably need to position their solutions towards one type of team or another - even at the level of individual features.

MySQL is one of the most popular database systems out there. And that’s for a good reason. It is lightweight, fast, easy to learn, and widely available. Using a MySQL GUI to manage your databases will help you make the most out of this tool. A GUI (Graphical User Interface) allows you to interact with your database with a visual interface.
