Corteza

Salesforce's platform model, 100% open-source (Apache 2.0): Corteza is a Go/Vue.js low-code platform developed under a foundation, so there is no open-core bait to grow out of. The heart is Corteza Compose: namespaces contain applications, modules define record structures the way Salesforce objects do, and a drag-and-drop page builder assembles record pages, list pages, dashboards, and charts from configurable blocks. Automation comes from a visual, BPMN-style workflow engine plus JavaScript automation scripts, so cross-application business logic - approval chains, field updates, notifications - is configured rather than programmed. Granular role-based permissions reach down to individual modules, fields, and records, mirroring real organizational hierarchies. Corteza CRM ships as the flagship application built entirely on Compose: leads, accounts, opportunities, campaigns, and cases with a 360-degree customer view, covering most Salesforce standard objects - and because it is just a Compose app, adding or reshaping modules is configuration, not a fork. Everything is reachable over REST APIs, deliberately familiar tooling eases Salesforce admin migration, and a CLI can even generate synthetic records for load-testing what you build.
