Introducing Lowdefy V4: The Easiest Config Webstack built on top of Next.js

[SamTolmay]

We're excited to announce Lowdefy V4, a full-stack web framework that simplifies building web applications, internal tools, admin panels, BI dashboards, and CRUD apps using YAML or JSON configuration files.

In this update, Lowdefy developers now enjoy faster app performance and improved functionality with custom code plugins.

New Features in Lowdefy V4

1. Next.js build: Lowdefy apps have been converted to run on top of the Next.js framework.
2. All of Auth.js: App authentication are now implemented by configuring any Auth.js supported providers, adapters and callbacks and events, all of which can be customized.
3. Plugin extensibility: Apps can now be extended with any npm or pnpm workspace plugins.
4. Flexible Styling: Change any of Ant Design's more than 900 style variables.
5. Better, Faster Rendering: Reduced page loading times, better loading state management including easy configuration of loading skeletons where needed.

See our blog post for more details.

Starting with Lowdefy V4, we are introducing a capped usage based pricing to Lowdefy apps that include authentication.
