Anvil makes it dead simple to get a web app deployed to the web. It is Python native (uses Skulpt on the client side) and has a Postgres backed integrated database with their own ORM. This makes it super fast to get going. I have used Anvil to make very simple apps and very complex apps. Both are possible but the amazing thing is that the simple apps are very easy to get going. Anvil allows you a minimum amount of boilerplate (they generate it for you). When you need to make a complex app, you have the power of Python to create abstractions that are readable and reusable. When my business needs an app up and running TODAY, Anvil is what enables this.

I like it. Abstracts a lot of headaches and allows quick iteration.

Even as a beginner in programming, I found it surprisingly easy to build complex web applications that would have otherwise required a steep learning curve. Instead of spending time learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, databases, servers, backends, APIs, and more, I only needed a basic understanding of Python. The platform even allows seamless access to JavaScript APIs directly in Python, ensuring that no limitations hold you back. Plus, the community and staff are incredibly supportive and helpful.
