## What it is
Tego is a pluggable Node.js/TypeScript framework for building customizable development platforms, enabling developers to create their own no-code/low-code systems or event-driven applications. It provides a plugin architecture, ORM with transaction management, workflow automation, form design, and multi-tenant support, and is the open-source core behind the TachyBase platform.

## Use cases
- build a self-hosted low-code platform for internal tools
- create a CRM or ERP system with custom data models
- automate approval workflows over data changes
- build an admin dashboard with drag-and-drop form design
- develop event-driven business applications on Node.js
- spin up a multi-tenant business app with CRUD APIs

## When to choose
- you want to build your own low-code/no-code platform rather than use a turnkey one
- you need a self-hosted, extensible Node.js backend with plugin architecture and workflows
- you need internal tools like CRM/ERP/HRM with customizable data structures
- you want full control over deployment without cloud vendor lock-in

## When to avoid
- you need a stable production system right now - the core is undergoing a refactor and the Git version may be unstable
- you just want a ready-made app builder without writing code or plugins
- your stack is not JavaScript/TypeScript or Node.js
- you need a lightweight CRUD backend without platform-building overhead
