To date I have only used SQL Azure databases with Azure application service.

So far I have connected to MySQL / Postgres and SQL Azure databases as the backends all seem to work well.

This saves a massive amount of time in getting started. Every connected table gets a List / Add / Edit / View and Search page. Initial scaffolding of a connected database is fast and flawless.

I’ve had no problem deploying the code to Linux web servers seems to work seamlessly.

I am really looking forward to using it with PHP 8. I generally use the latest PHP version my host provides an option for which to date has been 7.4.

PHP 7.4 support is standard and PHP 8 support is being introduced.

Code produced is non proprietary and uses vanilla PHP.

Points I would draw your attention to specific to PHPRunner. To date they have been very happy with my work and are usually very happy with how quickly I can turn round their requests. I have managed to create 5 working applications and I am starting to get independent clients who I make applications for. I still plan to move them across to PHPRunner. Their ASP Net Runner has served me well and I had one client on it and they are very happy. I have copies of ASP NET Runner and PHPRunner but found because I can get better performance with PHPRunner and because Linux hosting is cheaper I am moving all my applications across to PHPRunner. Word up – I basically think Xlinesoft’s PHPRunner is particularly excellent. The main generators I looked at were Nubuilder (open source but only supports MYSQL databases and it doesn’t produce responsive designs) – PHPMaker – not bad but wasn’t getting great performance and didn’t like the UI of the genrator that much / Radzen – good but ASP NET based and its a bit young at the moment. If you do a search for it on google you only seem to find the really big (and expensive players) who don’t clearly indicate how good they are for CRUD application generation.

It seems to me incredibly difficult to get unbiased reviews of low code platforms. 3 years ago I started dipping my toe into web code generators and then about 2 and a half years ago I went out and bought tools linked to Xlinesoft – I have copies of both ASP.net runner and PHPrunner and I thought I would give some feedback. Bit of background I am like most, constantly looking out for better tools and have been periodically searching Google for low code tools now for nearly 5 years.
