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.

Using 8base is simple once you understand the basic workflow. Here are the main steps:

• Create a free account on the 8base website and start a new workspace for your project.

• Build your data model using the visual interface. This creates your database tables and relationships without writing any code.

• The platform automatically creates a GraphQL API for your data, which you can use immediately to read and write information.

• Add custom functions using JavaScript or TypeScript if you need special logic that the visual tools cannot handle.

• Set up user authentication and permissions to control who can access different parts of your application.

• Connect your frontend using any framework like React, Vue, or Angular. 8base provides ready-made code examples to help you get started.

• Use the built-in tools to test your app, then deploy it with one click when you are ready.
