Who NocoBase is for

Your development team is facing these serious challenges as they deliver various business systems for either internal or client use.

Frequent changes in business needs

Tight and urgent delivery deadlines

Slow and lengthy development processes

High personnel costs

Your team has realized the need to abandon traditional development methods, and introducing a no-code development approach could be a good option. However, after research or experimentation, your team has numerous concerns regarding the no-code platform.

  • Limited no-code capabilities, primarily for forms or tables
  • Clumsy and inflexible, leaving users helpless when faced with unmet requirements
  • Without access to the underlying source code and with data hosted on third-party servers, both privacy and security are difficult to guarantee
  • System instability, coupled with challenges in tracking and troubleshooting
  • Difficult to integrate seamlessly with existing systems
  • Being held hostage by user or application-based pricing models, resulting in purchased products not truly belonging to yourselves

No need to worry! Give NocoBase a try.
NocoBase is the tailored infrastructure designed specifically for your development team!

How NocoBase gets it done

"No code" is very helpful for rapid development of business systems, but it is not possible to fulfill all the needs. The design principle of NocoBase is:

80% of requirements are achieved through no-code solutions,
20% are implemented through extended development.

Data model-driven, separate "user interface" from "data structure"

Compared to form and table-driven approaches, data model-driven development offers uncapped development capabilities.

  • Decouple data and UI
  • Multiple blocks and actions can be created for the same table and record in any quantity and form
  • Support main database, external databases, and third-party APIs as data sources

What you see is what you get, incredibly easy to use

NocoBase can develop complex and distinctive business systems, yet its usage is remarkably simple.

  • One-click switch between usage mode and configuration mode
  • Pages serve as a canvas where various blocks and actions are placed to compose suitable interfaces, much like Notion
  • The UI configuration mode is designed for ordinary users, not programmers

Everything is implemented as plugins, designed for extension development

Facing complex and ever-changing business scenarios, relying solely on stacking no-code capabilities to exhaust all requirements is futile. NocoBase is designed for extension development, freely expanding plugins to meet various needs.

  • Adopts a microkernel architecture where all functionalities are plugins, much like Wordpress
  • Plugins are ready to use upon installation
  • Whether they are pages, blocks, actions, APIs, or data sources, new plugins can be developed to meet new requirements

Plugins, including pages, blocks, actions, APIs, and data sources, can be easily installed and developed to meet complex and evolving business requirements.
Open source, using mainstream technology stacks

NocoBase's core and foundational plugins are entirely open-source, ensuring absolute transparency and controllability.

  • Written in TypeScript
  • Utilizes mainstream technology stacks such as Node.js, React, Koa, and more
  • Defines only standard interfaces, avoiding private DSLs
  • Extremely simple and lightweight, capable of running on a single low-spec server and extensible with just one person managing the development
Logging & Monitoring

NocoBase is not a black box; it provides detailed logging and monitoring alert infrastructure.

  • The logging plugin offers interface request logs and system operation logs
  • Supporting configurations such as log levels, rolling policies, size, and print formats
  • A series of telemetry plugins integrate facilities like OpenTelemetry and Prometheus, enabling developers to monitor any metric
Integrate with third-party systems

NocoBase offers multiple ways to integrate with third-party systems:

  • Using third-party databases as data sources
  • Utilizing APIs from other systems as data sources
  • Single Sign-On (SSO) for seamless authentication
  • Integrate seamlessly with third-party systems, becoming one entity
  • Implement multi-applications and parent-child applications among multiple NocoBase applications
Free, or one-time payment for lifetime usage

NocoBase is freely available for open-source use, with commercial license and plugins offered on top of the open-source version. Commercial license and plugins are purchased once and remain valid for a lifetime.

  • No subscription required
  • No consideration for the number of users
  • No consideration for the number of applications
  • No consideration for the amount of data

The right way to use NocoBase

No-code is not omnipotent, and neither is NocoBase.

  • NocoBase is not a low-code platform and does not support coding directly in the interface
  • NocoBase is not a code generator and does not offer code export
  • NocoBase is not a tool designed for teams without a technical background
  • NocoBase is not a SaaS, no subscription or pay-as-you-go offerings
  • Technical teams use NocoBase as infrastructure to dramatically improve delivery speed and efficiency
  • Technical teams can extend the capabilities of NocoBase with extension plugins, and non-developers can build on top of it without code
  • Use NocoBase to develop business systems and internal tools ranging from simple to complex
  • Deploy NocoBase on your own servers, use it, and take full control

Previously, we relied on paper-based processes for HR management and leave approvals, which was both inefficient and error-prone. Since using NocoBase to build our HR, attendance, and leave management workflows, we've achieved a truly paperless office. Managing over 110 employees has become efficient and intuitive. NocoBase's flexible interface design and powerful API capabilities perfectly cater to the diverse needs of our real estate business. Compared to tools like Salesforce, it's not only highly customizable but also supports a one-time purchase, making it incredibly cost-effective. We're now planning to migrate more systems, including our CRM, to NocoBase, transforming it into our company's core business platform and portal.
