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
Data model-driven approach in NocoBase, separating user interface from data structure. Supports multiple blocks and actions for the same table and record, integrating 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

As the CTO of KickWin, I’m constantly juggling an overwhelming workload, especially with our marketing team taking the product in different directions and clients frequently requesting custom features. It became difficult to keep up with updates, changes, and deletions while maintaining focus on the core development challenges. After testing various low-code solutions, NocoBase was the only one that truly stood out—designed by developers for developers. It makes building CRUD applications incredibly straightforward, allowing us to concentrate on the more difficult and critical aspects of development without getting bogged down in repetitive tasks.

What I appreciate most is how easy it is to customize NocoBase. Its architecture is built to allow seamless plugin integration for missing or highly specific features, offering the perfect balance between simplifying business needs and supporting complex development work. Features like auto-generated Swagger documentation, built-in translation, permissions, and role management are game-changers, saving us countless hours that would otherwise be spent building these from scratch. NocoBase enables us to deliver with speed and precision without compromising on quality or flexibility.

Honestly, I could talk about NocoBase for hours, but I’d rather use that time to ship yet another feature using this amazing platform. If you’re looking for a low-code solution that doesn’t sacrifice depth and customization, just try NocoBase—you’ll see the difference.

The core purpose of the digital transformation in traditional industries is to reduce costs and increase efficiency, enhance corporate competitiveness, and expand market share. However, implementation often faces three major challenges: difficulty in business integration, technical support, and cost control. No-code/low-code platforms, with their wide range of applicable scenarios, ease of use, and controllable iteration costs, have become the best choice.

After trying dozens of commercial and open-source low-code platforms, our company finally chose NocoBase as our business support platform. Employees from the marketing and archives departments, who have no IT background, were able to develop and set up three systems - CRM, RMS (Record Management System), and MES (Manufacturing Execution System) - by themselves after just about a week of self-learning, and then began trial operations. Later, by utilizing NocoBase's rich plugin functionality, we integrated WMS, ECS (Environmental Control System), and AI-assisted office systems, reducing the cost of digital transformation from millions over six months to hundreds of thousands within a month. Moreover, because business personnel were involved in the system construction, the response time to customer and employee needs could be shortened to just tens of minutes.

NocoBase's advanced design concept, round-the-clock technical support, open-source private deployment solution, and reasonable business model will make our company more calm and confident in facing future challenges.

Among the no-code/low-code platforms I have used, NocoBase is the most unique. It is more in line with the logic of traditional software development, starting from data relationships and gradually building upper level applications. It is very easy to learn and master, and it effectively solves the problem of a large amount of time and cost required for building traditional systems.
