Rayven.io Platform Overview

The Rayven.io platform is a highly flexible, secure, and scalable toolkit for building custom business applications

 

Introduction

The Rayven.io platform consists of two main areas: Rayven Live, which is the interface for viewing dashboards and user-accessible widgets, and the Rayven Workspace, the backend used for building workflows, managing tables, configuring interfaces, users and user groups , and deploying AI models. This powerful and flexible platform allows you to build a wide range of different applications, from web apps to ai apps, IOT apps and more, all within a secure, easy-to-configure environment.
