Python native way to deploy web apps fast
What do you like best about the product?
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
Really the only dislike I have about Anvil is the database speed. It isn't actually slow, but it's not as fast as you would get with your own database server. You can always connect your own database and use a Python library on the server side to connect to it. So there are ways around this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anvil has solved the internal (and even external) app issue for our enterprises. We are able to make custom web apps fast and reliably.
