Internal is the all-in-one platform that enables teams to quickly create powerful internal tools with app building, workflow automation, and task management. We combine an easy-to-use interface with advanced customization capabilities – making it the only platform where technical and non-technical teams can collaborate to build highly technical internal tools on top of databases and APIs.

With Internal’s all-in-one platform, you can connect databases and APIs to build internal tools including workflows, tasks, automations, and custom apps. We also released a GitHub integration so teams can control changes to apps across multiple environments.

Hey everyone 👋 I’m Bob, one of the co-founders of Internal. Arisa and I go way back – we’ve built internal tools at companies we’ve worked at together and saw that it’s a huge challenge that companies of all sizes face. After years of working on internal tools, we decided to build Internal to help solve that problem. Whether you work at a startup with 10 people or a massive company with multiple teams under different organizations, we wanted to create a platform that anyone could build on. Instead of teams sacrificing resources or being blocked by limited access to data, Internal enables teams to safely build highly technical tools on top of databases and APIs. We’re excited to be releasing the all-in-one platform and launching on Product Hunt today! We hope you love building with us and can’t wait to hear your feedback. Let us know if you need help getting started!

Hi Product Hunt 👋 Thank you for hunting Internal, @hnshah! I’m Arisa, one of the co-founders of Internal. I’m really excited to share what we’ve been working on with the PH community. IT and engineering teams spend 40% of their time building and maintaining internal tools and workflows, distracting from building products that actually drive business revenue. This results in significant amounts of money and time spent, not to mention the problem of having too many tools to manage. The tradeoff of building and managing these internal tools is development effort towards customer-facing products. This past year, we’ve been working on a new approach to internal tools. We wanted to create an all-in-one platform where people can build all the internal tools (from workflows and automations to custom apps built on top of databases and APIs) and do so collaboratively across the entire organization. Most platforms are designed with one persona in mind. We believe that if teams work together, they can build internal tools even faster. Internal is designed for technical and non-technical teams to build highly technical tools together. Internal is free to use, with no trial period. Create an account to start building internal tools. Here’s what you can do with the Internal all-in-one platform: ⚒️ Design and build apps in a powerful workspace: Spaces is a drag-and-drop interface where you can build custom applications on top of any database and APIs with a wide range of components, without writing any code. 📊 Improve efficiencies in a flexible task system: Queues enable teams to customize details of each step and action, trigger database queries and API calls at any step, and have oversight into the status of every task and workflow distribution. ⚙️ Build and automate multi-step workflows across databases and APIs: Teams can create multi-step automations, schedule recurring jobs, and chain together database queries and API calls. 🧰 Build with custom code: You can write Javascript to manipulate data and add custom logic to your internal tools. Or, you can write SQL to create custom views, execute stored procedures, and more. 🌲 Manage development changes with Source Control Management (SCM): Engineering teams can manage and control changes to Internal apps using source control management providers like GitHub to customize development processes across multiple environments. I’m excited to help you build awesome internal tools and look forward to hearing your feedback!

Awesome work, Internal team! 🎉 Congrats on the launch on Product Hunt! I'd love to learn more about how software houses are using Internal to build internal tools. Could you share some use cases to give us a better understanding? Additionally, what would you say is the most unique feature or detail that Internal offers? Thanks in advance and keep up the amazing work! 🙌

Thanks for your support, @paolo_degiglio! We’ve got many dev shops using Internal to build internal tools for their clients today. Use cases range from support tools on top of a SQL database to approval workflows and a variety of administrative tools to manage all sorts of processes. You can pretty much build any type of internal application you need on top of databases and APIs. With Internal, you have the option to build an internal app and embed it into an existing web application that is already widely used by existing employees. Some dev shops are going that route – while others are building out entire tool set for employees to access via the Internal platform.

@paolo_degiglio If you need ideas on where to get started, check out our Solutions page (https://www.internal.io/solution...) where you’ll find example apps built using Spaces, Automations, Queues, and more. Thanks for your support!

I work for a startup called Fernish. We used Internal to rebuild our internal admin tools, which were originally built with the Administrate gem for rails. Our version of administrate was deprecated so we took the opportunity to rebuild our admin tools with Internal. The killer feature for us was role-based permissions. Internal makes it super easy to configure permissions for our admin users. This was a feature we didn't have with our previous Administrate solution. Internal is now part of our entire development lifecycle. Internal communicates with our system via API (or an HTTP Source in Internal). We're also able to connect our review apps, staging, and production environments to internal. As a frontend engineer that has built multiple admin tools in the past, I originally thought Internal was not necessary, but I have since changed my mind. Internal is a lot less work than hand-rolling a solution on our own.

I have strong confidence in Internal as a company based on past personal experience with their leaders.
