Back4app

Founded 2015

Build and host application backends with databases, authentication, and APIs

You can use Back4app to build and host backends for mobile and web applications without managing your own servers. It sets up MongoDB databases with relational models and real-time synchronization. You can secure applications with built-in user authentication, role-based access control, and social logins. Back4app automatically generates REST and GraphQL APIs for every database class and cloud function. You can also write server-side JavaScript functions, send push notifications to mobile devices, store assets on a global CDN, and deploy full-stack web applications straight from GitHub.
