We built our low-code platform while working with scale-ups, out of frustration with how painful and expensive backend logic can be to implement and maintain in high-speed, distributed environments. It either meant hand-coding everything or relying on rigid tools that abstract away too much. We tested a range of LCNC platforms before deciding to build our own, because they either focused on front-end UIs with little support beyond CRUD, couldn’t meet our performance or scaling needs, or were SaaS-only.
What makes Rierino different:
- Not a UI builder, focused on complex, high-performance backend development
- Microservices architecture with full control over what each microservice can execute and access
- Low latency and high performance serving millions of customers with tens of thousands of internal users
- Flexible deployment: run on any public or private cloud, on-premises, and with your preferred configuration and APM stack
- Open architecture integrating with existing systems, including databases, cache, file systems, and IAM solutions
- Supports advanced patterns like event streaming, change data capture (CDC), complex event processing (CEP), and real-time ML scoring
- Built-in AI agent development capabilities with support for MCP, A2A, and WoT for advanced tooling and orchestration
What you can build with the Developer Lite version (in your own AWS environment):
- Create and Orchestrate APIs with branching logic and error handling
- Query, read & write on a database with our visual query builder
- Apply RBAC on individual API endpoints
- Integrate with 3rd party systems using REST, GraphQL, SOAP, and OData
- Extend flows with inline code when needed

We’d love your feedback:
- What kinds of workflows do you think shouldn’t be built with low-code?
- Where do other tools fall short for backend or middleware use cases?
- What would you want to see in something like this?
We’ll hang around in the comments to answer questions and share examples. Thanks for reading!
