We decided to move all our internal apps to Superblocks almost two years ago. It's helped us replace a few different platform layer tools (Google Cloud Scheduler, App Engine, Mode, Retool) and enabled us to build much faster within our team, without having to think about maintaining infrastructure. Another big thing for us was that we have engineers writing in Python (more data heavy stuff), and engineers writing Javascript/Typescript. Now everything can live in one place based on business needs.

It's an incredible tool for building internal tools for your company and product. Highly recommend!
  • Easy to use User Interface builder for building internal apps
  • Scheduled Jobs and Workflow builder in multiple languages
  • API builder for support your User Interface for your internal apps
  • More flexibility on UI component designs
Superblocks is great for building internal tools for your company. We have our finances running on Superblocks, our client services running on it, as well as a lot of internal tooling for our product.

You can build full-apps using their API builder, Workflow builder, Scheduled Jobs, and UI builder. All without having to handle your own infrastructure. It's meant to be one extra abstraction layer on top of other developer infrastructure tools like AWS, Vercel, etc.
  • UI builder – we have multiple micro-apps our team uses to operate our business
  • Scheduled Jobs – we've automated a lot of our work using jobs from generating reports all the way to taking images from space from NASA and posting it to our Slack
  • Workflows – we've abstracted a lot of our business logic into workflows so they can be used across different apps

Throughout the past year, Superblocks have been our team's superpower. In terms of our internal operations infrastructure, Superblocks powers virtually everything. Slack reporters tell us how much money we spend on advertising each day (we spend $100 million or more each year!) to Superblocks-based apps that help us manage client success and predict revenues.
  • Schedule Job
  • Build Custom Tools
  • Build App
  • It would be great to enhance the reporting features so developers are able to display data individually, requiring less configuration.
  • There is a bit of a learning curve to integrating third-party tools, and it could be a deal breaker if it is made a bit simpler.
  • Better documentation of them would really help in better implementation of things
When you've connected your data sources, Superblocks make integrating data from several sources a breeze, which is the key to our development success.
