Connections include databases, AI models, business apps, and REST APIs; listed providers and tools include Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, Google, Mistral, OpenAI, Jira, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. Budibase is open source and can be self-hosted, deployed on-premise, or used through its cloud platform, with Kubernetes and Docker deployment also described.
