What is 8base

8base is a development platform that lets you build web and mobile applications without worrying about backend setup. It provides ready-to-use tools for creating databases, user accounts, and connecting everything together through a GraphQL API. This means you can build apps much faster than traditional methods.

The platform works with JavaScript and TypeScript, languages that millions of developers already know. You can start with visual tools to set up your project, then add custom code whenever you need more control. 8base handles all the server work automatically, including scaling your app as it grows.

There is a free version for small projects, with paid plans adding more features, better performance, and team collaboration tools for professional development work.

FAQ's About 8base

Is 8base completely free to use?
Yes, 8base offers a free plan that includes all basic features like serverless functions, GraphQL API, and community support. This is suitable for learning and small production applications. Professional and Enterprise plans add team features and higher capacity.
Do I need to know how to code to use 8base?
While 8base has visual tools for setting up databases and basic features, you will need JavaScript or TypeScript knowledge to add custom functions and build your frontend. The platform is designed for developers who want to work faster, not to replace coding entirely.
What is GraphQL and why does 8base use it?
GraphQL is a modern way to request data from servers. Unlike traditional methods, it lets you ask for exactly the data you need in a single request. 8base generates this API automatically based on your database design, saving you from writing it manually.
Can I move my application away from 8base if needed?
Yes, 8base is built on standard technologies like JavaScript, MySQL, GraphQL, and AWS. While designed to work best on the platform, your code is portable and you can export your data if you ever need to migrate elsewhere.
Does 8base support mobile app development?
Yes, you can use 8base as the backend for mobile apps built with React Native, Swift, Android, or any other mobile framework. The GraphQL API works seamlessly with mobile clients, and the platform handles all server-side operations automatically.
