Superblocks

Superblocks is an enterprise-grade internal tools and application platform designed for organizations that need to build sophisticated operational applications, internal dashboards, and business tools that go beyond what traditional low-code platforms can support. By combining visual application building with full-stack Python and JavaScript code execution, Superblocks serves teams that need the productivity of a low-code tool without sacrificing the flexibility to handle complex requirements.

The Superblocks application builder provides a canvas where developers assemble applications using a component library that includes all standard UI elements: tables with sorting and filtering, forms with validation, charts, buttons, inputs, modals, and custom HTML. The canvas supports both grid and freeform layout modes to accommodate diverse application design requirements.

A key differentiator of Superblocks is its backend logic support. While most low-code tools only support frontend JavaScript, Superblocks allows writing Python and JavaScript code in server-side APIs that run securely in the cloud. This enables complex data transformations, third-party service integrations, file processing, email sending, and any other server-side logic within the Superblocks environment, without setting up a separate backend service.

Scheduled jobs in Superblocks allow server-side Python or JavaScript code to run automatically on cron schedules. These jobs are ideal for periodic data processing, report generation, data synchronization, alert evaluation, and maintenance tasks. The jobs share the same data source connections and code editor experience as application APIs, making them easy to develop and debug.

The API editor provides a step-based workflow builder where each step can be a database query, an API call, a code block, or a conditional branch. Steps are chained together with data flowing between them, enabling complex multi-step backend logic to be expressed clearly and debugged incrementally.

Data source support in Superblocks is comprehensive, covering relational databases, cloud data warehouses, REST and GraphQL APIs, and integrated SaaS services. Database queries are written in the native query language (SQL) with the benefit of schema autocomplete and query testing. API configurations handle authentication, request building, and response transformation.

The access control system in Superblocks supports fine-grained permission management at the workspace, application, and component level. Enterprise features include SAML SSO, custom roles, audit logging, private deployment options, and environment management for staging and production.

Superblocks integrates with the tools developers already use including Git for version control, and provides a CLI for development workflows outside the browser-based editor.
