Backendless

Backendless is a visual low-code application development platform that combines a frontend UI Builder with a backend for data, logic, and services, allowing teams to build web and mobile apps without writing code. It addresses the need to design interfaces, model data, implement business logic, and expose APIs from a single environment.

Core capabilities include a real-time relational database with a visual schema modeler, Codeless logic blocks for frontend and backend functions, API Services that turn code or Codeless logic into microservices with REST APIs and native SDKs, Cloud Code (API Services, API Event Handlers, Cloud Code Timers, and CodeRunner for Java and JavaScript/Node.js), file storage, Pub/Sub messaging, user management with social logins, caching, geolocation, and logging. The UI Builder supports web and mobile deployment, themes, templates, and CDN integration. Integrations include Zapier, Make (Integromat), FlutterFlow, Bubble, Adalo, AppGyver, and others, alongside a Marketplace offering function packs, blueprint apps, page templates, UI components, and API services. AI features include an audio translation plugin, audio transcription plugin, and image generator/editor service.

Backendless is aimed at developers, teams, and businesses building web and mobile applications. It is packaged as Backendless Cloud (hosted, with servers in the U.S. and E.U.), Backendless Pro (self-hosted or cloud instance with Docker architecture), and Managed Backendless (installed and managed by the team). A free starting plan is available, with additional capacity purchasable through the Marketplace on monthly or yearly terms.
