Build unlimited apps quickly,
Corteza is built in Golang, a multi-threaded language created specifically for scalability and processing efficiency. Front ends are delivered in Vue.js, a lightweight and highly popular JavaScript framework that runs efficiently in the user’s browser.
All data models are stored in Corteza’s backend and are separated from the UIs you create with Corteza, so that you can reuse models, insert additional elements on the fly and factor them into the UI retrospectively without impacting your production model.
Grab data from anywhere. Use the data anywhere.
Reach any part of Corteza via an API and transform and control the data as you like via our Integration Gateway. Corteza’s REST API lets you push data in or pull data out of any Corteza application, so you can grab whatever optimized data you want and put it where you need it. Or transform and use data for your own purposes to handle iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) type use cases with the Corteza Integration Gateway.
Collaborate across and between organizations.
Corteza is 100% standards-oriented, meaning that users can collaborate across any organization or even between organizations. Corteza follows best practices for:
Easily work with any data you pull in.
Share records between any Corteza-based systems in a standardized, usable way with no bottlenecks or compatibility issues. Corteza connects with data from different sources in different formats and transforms it into a common open format that makes it easy to build apps that can effortlessly communicate with each other.
Corteza also integrates seamlessly with legacy environments, accepting connections from any data source so that developers can tailor the use of legacy data prior to its deployment in data models and associated applications.
Share federated data in real time.
Corteza can federate data records on a many-to-many basis, allowing organizations to share selected data at scale between any Corteza-based systems in a standardized, usable way in near real-time to stay ahead of problems or to accelerate innovation.
Scale horizontally or vertically.
Corteza is cloud-ready and deployable via Docker, so that Corteza can run on any major OS and is easy to maintain.
Don’t be stuck with one databse.
Corteza currently supports the following databases:
Others will continue to be added along with support for multiple, simultaneous database sources.
Easily export fully apps, workflows and records.
Export and import complete app configurations, workflows, record data without limits.
Corteza uses its Envoy subsystem to import data and map imported legacy data to new application data models.
Build better apps faster.
From simple data models to complex records, easily build unlimited, highly configurable data fields and create relationships between them. The results are a solid app architecture, improved data quality and better app performance.
Work with Corteza apps on any device.
All application user interfaces you create in Corteza are mobile responsive by default.
Ensure that anyone can work with your applications
Corteza Compose (the low-code developer backend), the Corteza Admin Console and any applications you build with Corteza are all WCAG 2.1 accessible by default, making Corteza the only such open-source platform in the world.
Use Corteza and deploy apps in any country of the world
Corteza is internationalized according to the i18n standard, which means that Corteza can support localization into any of the Earth’s 7,000+ languages so that any culture, group, organization or nation can use Corteza.

Build apps, create workflows, automate processes, extend your platform and more with intuitive built-in tools.
Easily create unlimited apps.
Corteza comes with an easy-to-use, block-based drag-and-drop app builder that sits above the data model layer. This lets you easily add, resize, move and arrange blocks – from forms to lists, charts, social media feeds, iframes and more. You can add as many components as you want to each page, create and link modules, build a UI and deploy with a click.
Customizing apps is also easy. Just define the data you want to save in modules, use the page builder to create the UI, then add charts and workflows as you like.
Create and manage complex business processes.
Ensure your apps do what you want them to do and achieve what you need them to achieve. Easily create intuitive workflows and automations within and between applications that are tailored to your exact requirements. Corteza Workflow also interacts with our Integration Gateway, providing the key component of a Corteza iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service), where Corteza can be used as middleware between third party applications and not only as a delivery platform for applications.
Implement custom business logic.
Corredor is a Node.js scripting environment for creating customized automation scripts. Corredor lets you reach and manipulate any component on the Corteza server with no need to learn a proprietary scripting language that locks you in and increases your developer costs.
Easily add on to and extend Corteza.
The Integration Gateway can connect with any third party source, irrespective of whether it supports a REST API. Additionally, you can use the Integration Gateway to pre-filter the data payload it receives from third party systems – or use it to call on Corteza Workflow to process data or perform further actions on it, including post-filtering and sending it to a third party system. This fully-flexible integration capability makes Corteza the perfect vehicle for an iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) offering.
Create complex and detailed reports.
Easily create charts, tables, lists, explainers and cross-module reports and add them to your dashboards across one or multiple pages. Corteza Reporter generates reports across database tables and across Corteza applications with no limits on the number of reports you can create or export. And since the build process is similar to that of the application build process, there is only a marginal learning curve.
Present your data so that users will easily understand it
Turn your data into visually striking charts. Our advanced chart builder lets you add dashboard components such as charts and metrics to all application pages you create. You can also resize your charts and customize colors as you need.
Search for anything anywhere in Corteza.
Corteza Discovery lets you search all applications on your Corteza platform, including data that has been federated from third-party Corteza instances. It also includes a geo-visualization and navigation feature.
Corteza Discovery uses OpenSearch/Elastic as its backend.
Manage your security and privacy.
Manage users, authentications and access across all applications and system features with role-based permissions and two-factor authentication. The Admin Console also includes the system audit/action log, amongst other features.
