The development team behind Budibase, an open-source low-code platform, has released version 3.0 with the aim of expanding the platform's functionality. Budibase supports developers in creating forms, portals and approval applications.
The platform recognizes various data sources such as MongoDB and PostgreSQL and provides a user-friendly interface with pre-built components and automation options. Users can host Budibase themselves or use it via the cloud to develop applications without extensive programming knowledge. Due to the open source approach, the code can be customized and extended according to individual needs.
Revised data UI
One of the highlights of the changes is the revised data user interface (UI), which is designed to make the management and display of data views more efficient. Users can also create filter groups. The update also fixes problems with the handling and connection of filters in views in order to avoid duplicate queries and unnecessary additions of view filters in search queries.
Version 3.0 enables the explicit definition of read and write roles for views, removes the inheritance of access rights from tables and revises the flexibility of authorization management. The development team has added default values for option and array types in the frontend to make it easier to customize applications. A new user interface for Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) supports the management of security and access settings.

Support for large integers
Other changes include support for BigInts – Big Integers, a data type for extremely large integers that goes beyond the limits of conventional integers – in calculations and the optimization of number representation in table format. In addition, the update enables the explicit definition of read and write roles for views, removes the inheritance of access rights from tables and improves flexibility in authorization management.
What makes low-code platforms?
Low-code platforms aim to simplify and accelerate application development by reducing the need for extensive programming and providing visual development tools and pre-built components.
Further information on Budibase 3.0 can be found in the repository on GitHub and in the release notes. Within a few hours, the development team released version 3.0.3, which contains minor bug fixes.
