What is Anvil.works?
Anvil is a cloud-based web application development platform that allows you to build full-stack web applications visually without needing to write any code. It uses a simple drag-and-drop interface that allows you to add UI components like buttons, text boxes, tables etc. and connect them to Python code and databases.
Some key features of Anvil:
- No-code environment - Anvil uses a visual programming approach and requires no prior coding knowledge. This allows anyone to build web apps fast.
- Full-stack apps - Apps you build on Anvil are full-stack, including front-end UI, Python back-end code and data storage/management.
- Hosted in the cloud - Apps are hosted in Anvil's cloud infrastructure. No servers for you to manage.
- Reusable components - Anvil has a component library that lets you reuse UI widgets, modules and themes across apps.
- Scales automatically - Apps build on Anvil can scale automatically to handle more traffic without any extra effort from you.
Anvil is suited for building internal business web apps, online databases, automation tools, admin dashboards, prototypes and more. Its no-code approach means even non-developers can build useful web apps on their own.
