About Anvil
What is Anvil?
Anvil is a development platform that lets you build complete web applications using only Python. It eliminates the need for separate front-end languages, DevOps, or database setup, handling deployment, authentication, and hosting automatically. You design UIs with a visual drag-and-drop editor, write server-side logic in Python, and connect to external APIs or databases seamlessly.
Who is it for?
Anvil is ideal for Python developers, data scientists, and teams who want to rapidly prototype and ship internal tools or customer-facing apps without learning JavaScript or managing infrastructure. It is less suited for projects requiring highly custom, low-level front-end control or for non-programmers who prefer no-code platforms.
Real use cases
Companies like Vodafone use Anvil to speed up internal tool development. Use cases include building dashboards, data entry apps, document automation, AI-powered prototypes, and SaaS backends—all with Python and deployable in one click.
Key features
- Visual drag-and-drop designer — Build UIs quickly by dragging components, or generate from code.
- AI integration — Connect AI agents directly in the editor or IDE to generate and edit app code.
- One-click deployment — Instantly host your app on Anvil's cloud with no DevOps needed.
- Full-stack Python — Code, databases, user management, and deployment all driven by Python.
- Git and CI support — Keep your workflow with version control, staging environments, and DTAP.
- Security-first — Built-in security model, SAML login, and options for on-site deployment.
