FlexCore is a low code backend platform written in PHP that lets you build data management systems and REST APIs through a web interface instead of writing code from scratch. The core idea is that you define "Entities," think of these as custom data tables, by giving them a name and choosing from 29 field types such as text, numbers, dates, file uploads, relationships between entities, and formulas. Once defined, FlexCore automatically generates a web admin panel for browsing and editing records, a full REST API, a standard way for apps to communicate, with authentication, filtering, pagination, and rate limiting, plus an audit log of every change made. You would use this when building an MVP, a minimum viable product, or a back office data management tool where you need structured data storage and an API quickly, without writing custom database code and admin panels. It covers common needs like granular user permissions per entity, automations that fire webhooks when records are created, updated, or deleted, and a plugin system for adding custom functionality without modifying the core code. The platform requires PHP 7.4 or later, MySQL or MariaDB, and either Apache or Nginx as the web server. There is no external package dependency beyond standard PHP extensions, so it works on shared hosting, XAMPP, or a VPS. Setup is done through a browser based wizard that creates the database tables, sets up an admin user, and generates the configuration file. The full README is longer than what was shown.
