What is DaDaBIK?
DaDaBIK is a low-code/no-code web application builder written in PHP that enables users to create custom database frontends and web applications without writing code. First developed in 2001, this mature software product allows users to start from existing data sources like Excel/CSV files, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, or MS SQL Server databases, or even from scratch. The platform automatically generates basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) interfaces and provides a visual configurator for customization.
The tool supports both non-coders and developers, offering a no-code approach for simple applications and allowing custom PHP and JavaScript code injection for complex workflows. Users can self-host applications, integrate with existing systems via HTTP API or SQL queries, and build headless CMS solutions. With over 20 years of development and thousands of customers worldwide, DaDaBIK focuses on reducing development time and eliminating repetitive coding tasks.
