Why Frappe Framework?

Frappe was built to power our flagship product ERPNext.
The core philosophy at Frappe is write as less code as possible. We prefer
configuration over code. If a feature is generic and we need it, we put it right
into the framework.

This has enabled us to build and maintain a complex application like an ERP
which has thousands of features with a small team of developers.

Rapid Application Development

After setting up Frappe Framework, you can be productive in no time. Creating
models, wiring controller code and updating views are all handled by the
framework.

Batteries Included

Anything that might be needed by a modern web application is probably built into
the framework already. PDF generation, Emails, SMS, Web Pages
you name it. If there is something missing in Frappe Framework, we might already
be working on it right now :)

Easy Deployment

Bench is the all-in-one tool to manage all things Frappe. It handles app
updates, database migrations, generating configs for nginx and supervisor,
scaffolding new apps and much more.

Multi Tenant

Bench supports multi-tenancy out of the box. It means you can spin up multiple
instances of apps with separate databases on the same codebase. It also supports
port-based multitenancy where you can set up multiple bench environments for
different versions of apps.

Extensible architecture

Build powerful extensions on top of Frappe by creating your own apps. Apps can
bring their own models or modify existing ones in Frappe.
