What is Appsmith?

Appsmith is an open‑source low‑code platform that lets developers, IT teams, and business analysts build custom applications by dragging widgets and connecting to any database, SaaS tool, or REST/GraphQL API. The code‑first IDE supports JavaScript, HTML, and CSS and can generate custom widgets from natural‑language prompts, providing full control over UI and business logic.

Built‑in Git integration and CI/CD pipelines enable pull‑request workflows and automated deployment to staging or production branches. Enterprise capabilities include self‑hosting, air‑gapped deployment, SAML and OIDC single‑sign‑on, role‑based access controls, SCIM provisioning, and audit logging to meet compliance requirements.
