About Reflex
Reflex is the operating system for building mission-critical enterprise applications.
Today’s enterprise stack is fragmented. Shipping an app requires stitching together multiple tools and coordinating across multiple roles. Reflex replaces that complexity with a single, unified platform to build, deploy, and manage production applications end-to-end.

We empower teams to own the entire lifecycle of their apps — from idea to production — without needing specialized infrastructure, DevOps, or platform teams. We do this by providing solid, reusable abstractions at both the framework and infrastructure layers. Because we own the underlying open-source framework and the platform it runs on, we can manage the full lifecycle of the application seamlessly.
With Reflex, teams securely connect to company data, use AI to build standardized applications on top of our open-source framework, and deploy with a single click to share across their organization.
We’re replacing the fragmented enterprise stack — and the organizational bottlenecks that come with it.
Founded by Alek Petuskey and Nikhil Rao, Reflex has powered over 1 million applications, earned 28,000+ GitHub stars, and is used by 30% of Fortune 500 companies for internal tools and data-driven applications.
