Anvil is a Swiss Army knife of awesome. It allowed me to build Query Streams with ease, on my own. Everything I needed was there, and it was versatile enough for what I wanted to build.
Everything you need to get your idea live
You don’t need to be a web developer. Anvil brings every part of your app together in one place, using just Python.
Store data in your app
Save, search, and update your app's data using Anvil's built-in Data Tables, without setting up a separate database.
Data Tables >Add user accounts
Add sign-up, login, password reset, and user permissions without building them yourself. Control who can access your app.
Managing Users >Accept payments from your users
Receive one-off card payments and recurring subscriptions from your app's users with Anvil's built-in Stripe integration.
Stripe integration >Connect to other services
Connect your app to external APIs, databases, and other tools, so you can keep using the services your business already relies on.
External resources >Get help when you need it
Find step-by-step documentation, tutorials, an active community forum, and additional support plans when you need help.
How to get help >Keep sensitive information secure
Protect API keys, credentials, sensitive data, and operations without setting up your own security infrastructure.

Anvil has allowed me to do this as a solo entrepreneur. Any other solo entrepreneur that builds a software product needs to basically be a full stack developer who’s also had experience with DevOps and has the skills to build a business.
