Where it fits

Teams that want an admin UI and APIs on top of their own database schema.

Watch points

Review licensing, hosted features, and the governance model because source availability is not the same as a permissive OSS license.

Score breakdown

7/15 - License

Source is public, but licensing requires careful review for OSS classification.

15/18 - Self-host

Self-hostable application with operator-controlled database.

15/16 - Data

Strong because the database remains central and accessible.

8/12 - Privacy

Final posture depends on deployment, auth, roles, and extensions.

8/8 - Interop

API-first architecture and SQL compatibility support integration.

10/14 - Ops

Manageable but not trivial for production teams.

9/12 - EU fit

Can be EU-hosted and procurement-friendly when license terms fit.

3/5 - Governance

Company-led source-available governance requires review.
