What Is Appsmith?

Appsmith is a developer-first, open-source low-code framework that lets you visually build internal apps by dragging UI widgets, connecting APIs or databases, and writing business logic in JavaScript. With deep integrations, real-time updates, and a powerful scripting engine, Appsmith empowers teams to ship fast without sacrificing flexibility.

Why Use the Appsmith AMI by Meetrix?

Setting up Appsmith manually on the cloud can involve server provisioning, container management, environment variables, and reverse proxy configuration. Meetrix makes this easy by offering a production-ready AMI with Appsmith fully installed and secured on your AWS infrastructure.

• One-click launch on AWS Marketplace
• Deployed in your VPC for full data control
