API and Backend Builders
Backend platforms for a mobile or web app that need real logic, not just a spreadsheet standing in for a database. Auth, custom endpoints, and server-side workflows get built visually, then called from any front end over a standard API.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
Was ist der Unterschied zwischen einem Headless CMS und einem Backend-as-a-Service?
Ein Headless CMS konzentriert sich auf die Verwaltung von Inhalten und die automatische Generierung von APIs aus benutzerdefinierten Inhaltstypen. Ein Backend-as-a-Service bietet eine umfassendere Palette an Tools, einschließlich Authentifizierung, Echtzeit-Datenbanken und Cloud-Funktionen für die App-Logik.
Kann ich diese Plattformen nutzen, wenn ich bereits eine bestehende Postgres-Datenbank habe?
Ja. Mehrere Optionen ermöglichen es Ihnen, bestehende Postgres-Datenbanken in produktionsreife REST- oder GraphQL-APIs umzuwandeln. Einige bieten sogar Tabellenkalkulations-ähnliche Oberflächen zur Verwaltung dieser Daten an.
Muss ich programmieren können, um komplexe serverseitige Logik zu erstellen?
Nicht unbedingt. Einige Plattformen ermöglichen es Ihnen, Logik über visuelle Workflows oder No-Code-Oberflächen zu erstellen, ohne serverseitigen Code zu schreiben. Andere Optionen sind für Entwickler konzipiert und basieren auf TypeScript oder benutzerdefinierten Funktionen.
Wie verarbeiten diese Plattformen Echtzeit-Datenaktualisierungen?
Viele dieser Optionen verfügen über integrierte Echtzeit-Funktionen, die Daten automatisch mit Ihrem Frontend synchronisieren. Dies ist nützlich für Apps, die sofortige Aktualisierungen benötigen, ohne dass ein ständiges manuelles Neuladen erforderlich ist.
