Amplication

Amplication is an open-source platform that generates Node.js backend code from your data model. You define your database entities and relationships visually, specify which roles can access what, and Amplication generates the full REST and GraphQL APIs with authentication, permissions, and migrations already configured. The generated code is Node.js and TypeScript, ready to run locally or deploy to any Node-compatible host.

Best for developers who want to skip boilerplate API generation but still want to work with code they understand and can modify. Being open-source means you're not locked into a company's platform, and the generated code follows conventional Node.js patterns. Works well for internal tools, MVPs, and traditional business applications where role-based access control is a requirement from the start.
