Backendless

A visual app development platform with UI builder, codeless logic, real-time database, and AI automation for rapid app creation.

Introduction

Backendless is a low-code/no-code application development platform that empowers developers to build scalable web and mobile applications rapidly. It combines a visual UI builder, codeless logic, a real-time database, and backend management tools into a single platform. Key features include:

  • Visual UI Builder: Design user interfaces with drag-and-drop components, codeless event handlers, and responsive layouts.
  • Codeless Logic: Implement complex application logic without writing code using visual blocks and pre-built APIs.
  • Real-Time Database: Store and manage data with a scalable, real-time database featuring relational data modeling and data visualization.
  • Backend Management: Manage users, security, APIs, and serverless functions through a centralized console.
  • AI Automation: Automate workflows and integrate AI-driven capabilities with FlowRunner.

Backendless is suitable for developers of all skill levels, from citizen developers to experienced programmers, and can be used to build a wide range of applications, including:

  • Mobile Apps: Create native iOS and Android apps with a visual interface and backend services.
  • Web Applications: Build responsive web apps with dynamic content and user interactions.
  • Internal Tools: Develop custom tools for business processes, data management, and workflow automation.
