Build dynamic, data-driven business applications—without the complexity.
Atlas is a modern low-code platform for building rich, data-driven business applications. Define your entity model dynamically, extend it with custom logic through a pluggable architecture, and deploy production-ready solutions in record time.
🚀 Customize it to your needs. Deploy ready-to-use seeds. Extend and evolve.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Dynamic Data Model | Generic Entity-Relation model allows runtime schema extension without migrations |
| Schema-Driven UI | UI layouts, forms, and views adapt automatically based on backend JSON configuration |
| Relation Visualization | Interactive, force-directed graph views for exploring complex entity relationships |
| Audit & Compliance | Built-in audit logging for all data changes, supporting DORA and compliance requirements |
| Ready-to-Use Seeds | Bootstrap your project with pre-built templates (e.g., EAP - Enterprise Application Portfolio) |
| Full-Stack TypeScript | End-to-end type safety with shared contracts between frontend and backend |
| Pluggable Auth | Native and extensible authentication supporting multiple providers |
| Email Integration | Pluggable email system for verification and password resets (Nodemailer, SMTP) |

Atlas ships with ready-to-deploy seeds — pre-configured data models that you can use as starting points:
| Seed | Description |
|---|---|
| eap | Enterprise Application Portfolio — manage applications, technologies, and integrations |
💡 Seeds are fully customizable. Use them as-is or modify to fit your domain.
# Run API e2e tests locally (requires database)
npm run test:api -w atlas-e2e
# Run UI e2e tests locally
npm run test:ui -w atlas-e2e
# Run E2E tests in Docker (API + UI validation)
npm run test:e2eThe atlas-e2e module contains all end-to-end tests:
- API Tests — Jest + Supertest tests for entities, relations, and definitions (schemas)
- UI Tests — Playwright smoke tests for navigation, forms, and data persistence
