Overall Satisfaction with Superblocks

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
  • 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
  • We've saved thousands of developer hours that would have otherwise spent on maintaining infrastructure

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.
