Note that Our agent (which is what executes code) is on GitHub here and source available: https://github.com/superblocksteam/agent Our approach is somewhat akin to say Datadog where they have an agent that you run, but the UI is hosted. The approach we took was to give customers a) ability to keep data in their VPC, b) security teams can audit anything running in their network, c) anything non-sensitive doesn't need to be hosted by the customer to make it simpler to run/manage. Would be curious what you think of this hybrid approach and if there are further design decisions we could make that could be useful for us to incorporate?

In Show HN: Superblocks – IDE for Internal Apps, APIs and Cron Jobs

One of the developers that built Superblocks here: > Is this open source Although the app builder you see on the cloud is not open source, we offer a hybrid deployment option - the on-premise agent (OPA) is our execution engine that runs all of the code that you write in Superblocks. It is source available https://github.com/superblocksteam/agent and you can self-host it to ensure your data stays within your network. Feel free to check out the github repo or our docs (https://docs.superblocks.com/on-premise-agent/overview) for more details! > demo is really slow on my phone Sorry to hear that! The one on https://superblocks.com loads faster.

Show HN: Superblocks – IDE for Internal Apps, APIs and Cron Jobs

Hey HN, I’m Brad, one of the creators of Superblocks and a YC alum, excited to share our internal tooling IDE. As developers ourselves, we faced the problem of building tons of internal admin UIs, backends to connect siloed data, reporting jobs, and data pipelines. For UIs we would build one-off React components. For integrations, we would have to decipher vendor docs and implement auth. Finally, for reporting jobs we had to handle failures and observability – many hours of repetitive engineering effort. So we built Superblocks, an internal tooling IDE to connect to any datasource (databases, APIs, data warehouses), drag and drop your common UI components (tables, charts, forms), spin up backend APIs and schedule cron jobs, all in one place. Since developers we spoke to hated repeatedly handling permissions, hooking up observability, conf

iguring security and managing CI/CD pipelines, we built Superblocks to integrate with popular dev tools like Datadog, Elastic, GitHub, GitLab, Okta and more. Use our cloud version, or run a self-hosted agent to ensure your data never leaves your VPC [1]. Superblocks is quite differentiated from other “low-code” tools out there: * 100% built for developers: observability, debuggability, version control, extend with Python & JS * A platform, not a point solution: An all-in-one builder for internal tools: app UIs, APIs and cron jobs * Agent architecture: source-available, stateless and lightweight vs a legacy on-prem deployment * Scalable pricing: Pay for apps by Creator and usage-based pricing for end users (based on day passes) so it’s affordable to have 100s or 1000s of end users. Workflows and Jobs are billed on the number of executions. A quick 4 min demo on the website: https://cdn.superblocks.com/superblocks-demo-06132022.mp4 Developer docs: https://docs.superblocks.com To illustrate Superblocks in action, we built this startup funding explorer last night [2] Would love to hear feedback!
