Overview

Structr is an open-source low-code platform that runs on your own infrastructure with data held in a Neo4j graph database. You model types and relationships in a visual schema editor, and each type is exposed automatically as a REST endpoint with CRUD, filtering, sorting and pagination. Business logic is written in server-side JavaScript on GraalVM or built in a node-based flow editor.

Best for: Teams in the EU needing self-hosted internal apps with graph data and fine-grained permissions.
Pricing: No prices are shown; the platform is described as open source and self-hosted, with a free cloud-hosted sandbox for evaluation.
Runs on: WebLinuxSelf-hosted

Strengths and trade-offs

Strengths

Self-hosted on your own servers; data stays in a standard Neo4j DB
Schema, REST API, auth and page rendering in one platform
Server-side JavaScript on GraalVM when visual tools fall short
Source code is publicly available to audit and extend

Trade-offs

You must run and maintain Neo4j and a Linux server yourself
Requires Java 25+ and Neo4j 5.x or 2026.x
Memgraph and Amazon Neptune support is experimental
Cloud sandbox is for evaluation; no hosted production option shown
