Budibase 3.0

After months of development, over 3,500 commits, a full documentation overhaul, and three new templates, Budibase 3.0 is finally here. Why Budibase 3.0? This release was inspired by a key insight: Budibase engineers are most productive when configuring data and logic versus designing interfaces. With the 3.0 release, we aimed to create an exceptional data-first experience for building secure workflow applications. We’ve reimagined the process of setting up your data structures, configuring security, and effortlessly generating interfaces.

Day 5 - The Future

It’s the final day of our first launch week, and today, we’re going to look into the future of Budibase. It’s been two years since we launched Budibase 2.0. In that time, we’ve launched several game-changing features, including multi-player mode, global bindings, screen templates, and lots more. Now, with the 3.0 launch, we firmly believe our new data-first experience positions Budibase as the best, and most secure platform for building workflow apps.

Day 2 - Visual RBAC

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.

Design Beautiful Apps With the New 'Grid' Drag & Drop Layout

Introducing an easier way to build interfaces with Budibase with the new Grid layout. The Grid layout offers dynamic drag-and-drop functionality, letting you move and resize components across your screen with ease. Creating powerful and visually appealing applications in minutes has never been easier. You can now drag components around your screen and quickly resize them using the anchors on the corners and sides. As shown above, some components, such as tables, expand to fill the full container space.

New Functionality for Superior Ticketing Systems

Budibase is designed to build powerful apps that streamline internal processes and workflows. One workflow that we see come up time and time again is internal ticketing systems, with some very consistent requirements, regardless of what the tickets are tracking. Today, we’re taking these systems to the next level with a new set of features specifically built for users developing these ticketing systems. Whether you work in IT managing support requests, are a developer handling bug fixes, or anything in between, we think you’ll love them.
