Back4App is a versatile Backend as a Service (BaaS) platform with real-time database, cloud functions, APIs, and more. It offers an open-source approach, low learning curve (which can be really helpful at scale), and transparent pricing. Developers can scale effortlessly while prioritizing security, making it a valuable asset for app dev projects of all sizes.
We have used b4a for many many projects in the last 3 years for a wide range of technical requirements across all the projects. from the simplest to the most complex it really helped us focus on business itself instead of technical details. and for the times there were problems b4a's awesome support team helped us out and saved the day.
I wish there was a frontend equivalent of b4a so we could do the same with frontend but that's a story not related to b4a, and I just said that to let you know how good b4a's solutions and services in general were.
I have been using b4a for over 4 years now. It has greatly increased my development to get our products to production much quicker. The free tier is perfect for development and testing. I've had no issues and they provide great features, including Live Query (websockets), cloud code, easily create tables, manage permissions in detail for each table, and view logs quickly. Tech support is quick to respond and always have a quick fix. Highly recommend if you want to get your product up and going quickly. I am an experienced developer and have no problem working in SQL and NoSQL dbs, but this is the way to go for fast, reliable development.
As a company owner, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to maintain a stable development environment. However, Back4App has been a game-changer in streamlining this process with their cutting-edge technology.
Previously, we used Parse Server in our infrastructure, hosted on Heroku, created S3 Buckets in AWS, rented DBs from MongoAtlas, bought redis add-ons from Heroku, and the list went on and on. Building and maintaining these components to run Parse Server smoothly was a time-consuming job. But thanks to Back4App, it has become incredibly easy! We are now saving both time and money, and onboarding new developers has become much easier with Back4App's constant generation of new documentation, videos, and support through their Slack channel, all provided by their fantastic support team.
To sum it up, working with Back4App has been an absolute pleasure thus far, and we look forward to seeing it continue to thrive in the future.
We have been using it in our company for years; we chose it because it's easy to use and integrate with any framework, it has a pricing policy that suits both large and small projects, and the support provided is of high quality.
