No Code App Generator, CodeBot UX is available to early access users
With CodeBot, users can generate full-stack applications from a domain model, while its newly engineered UX components allow users a smoother and centralized approach towards app generation.

CodeBot UX supports UML models including class diagrams, state machines and wireframes. From these, CodeBot generates a database schema, API documentation, server-side code, client-side code including domain classes, CRUD functions and usage examples.

CodeBot can also automatically host one’s generated web application in the cloud with the click of a button. CodeBot UX initially targets React, but will soon build equivalent user interfaces for React Native, Vue.js and Angular.

Build.security emerges from stealth with $6 million in backing
Build.security aims to dramatically simplify the process of building authorization and cutting down development time with its open policy agent-powered authorization policy management platform.

“build.security’s innovative approach allows developers to focus on developing apps at unprecedented speed without the burden of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) implementation weighing them down,” said George Kurtz, the CEO and cofounder of CrowdStrike.

The company’s solution offers a unified pane of glass that enables developers to easily author, evaluate, distribute and monitor policies at scale, policy-as-code, which allows developers to express authorization policies with a no-code drag-and-drop policy builder or through a low-code declarative language.
