title: 10,000 Stars! This open-source low-code tool is wildly popular overseas.
description: Open-source tools are common, but it's rare to see one with 10,000 stars. I'm sharing a product that has seen a crazy growth of 10,000 stars overseas. There are many low-code tools, but few are truly useful. This tool is primarily used by developers in North America, and their Discord community is very active.

Open-source tools are common, but it's rare to see one with 10,000 stars. I'm sharing a product that has seen a crazy growth of 10,000 stars overseas.

The community indeed has some good reviews.

## What ILLA Cloud Can Do

Github: https://illacloud.com/illacloud/illa-builder

Official Website: https://illa.cloud

The main users of ILLA Cloud are backend engineers, which might be different from what most people think. A large number of backend engineers have used ILLA Cloud to build numerous data panels and management backends. After all, web development has always been a headache for backend engineers. The tools built with ILLA Cloud are indeed quite aesthetically pleasing and fast.

![dashboard](https://cdn.illacloud.com/illa-website/blog/popular-tool/dashboard.png)

ILLA also supports collaboration, allowing multiple people to edit a project together. Backend engineers no longer need to worry about building various internal backends. We all know the pain and tears of relying on front-end engineers.

The official website also has some solutions, which currently seem to focus mainly on management backends, data panels, etc.

- AI text-to-image panel
- AI voice processing panel
- Data analysis panel
- Content management CMS
- Custom CRM
- Management backend

![solution](https://cdn.illacloud.com/illa-website/blog/popular-tool/solution.png)

They also support building workflows, and it seems they have done a lot of work in the low-code field, looking like a well-rounded product. It basically meets various common cases.

For instance:
- Sending a message to Slack when a new user registers
- Daily reporting of the number of stars on GitHub
- Daily booking of meeting rooms

Engineers use ILLA Flow to automatically execute many tasks, such as:
- Reading business data from a database daily and sending it to Slack
- Building CI/CD reporting systems
- Sending emails when certain warnings occur

## User Experience

I briefly experienced it, and they have really put a lot of effort into the editor's smoothness and overall experience. The overall editing experience is quite good. It includes smooth drag-and-drop capabilities and also supports collaboration.

Various database integration capabilities are also supported, allowing quick data reading and writing from various data sources and databases. For backend engineers, integrating various services is indeed a nightmare. In this case, ILLA has already done the work. They also support integration with Huggingface, which seems like an official collaboration. It allows for quick use of the model capabilities on Huggingface, which is indeed interesting. You can quickly create some AI-driven tools.

## Conclusion

There are many low-code tools, but few can be practically used and implemented. ILLA seems to have been maintained for two years now, and their company is currently fully committed to this one thing. Unlike some low-code tools produced for certain purposes, they are directly addressing the needs of developers. Everyone can try it out!"

## What is Internal Tools

![good](https://cdn.illacloud.com/illa-website/blog/popular-tool/good.png)
Internal Tools refer to tools used within a team, including but not limited to various data dashboards, admin panels, etc. These tools can help the team better manage business operations and improve work efficiency. Tools drive the team's efficiency, and Internal Tools are an important part of these tools.

Every team needs to create a large number of non-standardized Internal Tools based on their own needs, making their team more efficient in managing business operations and data-driven decision-making.

Regardless of whether it's a large or small company, Internal Tools are very important, and each company's Internal Tools are different. Therefore, a flexible tool is needed to create Internal Tools.
