The challenge

After years as consultants building custom solutions for web and mobile applications, we grew tired of solving the same problems over and over again. We were writing the same boilerplate backend-code for each project. Simultaneously, we were having trouble finding time to maintain and update our existing backends. Often, we would have to spend time fixing bugs and security issues in our backends, instead of focusing on the frontend development. Having to explain to customers why they have to pay for something that they consider doesn't add any value to their business was not our favourite passtime either.

The solution

A fully-managed backend-as-a-service that is secure, fast and scalable. No need for operations or maintenance activities. An easy way to implement custom business logic through low-code triggers and web hooks support. Store your backend as a json declaration file in your git repository and RestAPI.com will deploy your code into a running production environment. This includes collections, views, triggers and access matrix. We also offer a hosted login for your application with support for Microsoft, Google and Facebook. You won't have to worry about deprecated login libraries or security issues ever again. RestAPI.com offers this and more.
