OpenLowCode: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Open Lowcode is a low-code framework for enterprise software, built in Java with JavaFX for the user interface and a technical stack of Java and SQL. Organisations use it to assemble specific applications from existing components, for example for finance (multi-axis budgeting and reporting), planning, complex data management and security with roles and workflows. Access control, reports, workflows and import and export are built in or quickly added, and developers can write their own features. You can run the software locally for prototyping, on-premise or in the cloud.

Open Lowcode is published by Open Lowcode SAS in Aix-en-Provence, France. The source code is available on GitHub under the Eclipse Public License 2.0. Because you install the software yourself, you decide where the applications and data run, and there is no dependence on a hosted service from the vendor. For a European organisation this means a French publisher, visible source code and full freedom of hosting, with its own responsibility for operations and maintenance.

Why digital sovereignty matters with OpenLowCode

OpenLowCode is headquartered in FR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so OpenLowCode scores best on data residency.

OpenLowCode is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs OpenLowCode together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
