Strengths

App + workflow surface in one stack
Built-in BaaS-style app publishing
Plugin architecture

Practitioner note

Good fit for teams that want one self-hostable surface for apps, workflows, and model operations, but the license and commercial boundary need review before standardising widely.

Warning

Dify: Dify's modified Apache 2.0 restricts multi-tenant deployment and requires retaining Dify branding without a commercial license.
