Backendless overview

What is Backendless?

Backendless is a Visual App Development Platform (VADP) that combines application programming interface (API), database, and user management features with a cloud-based interface and user interface (UI) Builder. The platform enables organizations to send emails and push notifications to clients and provides real-time chat and geolocation functionality. Developers can customize Backendless applications via manual codes or using the built-in codeless logic builder.

Backendless includes a UI Builder, which lets you build fully functional mobile and web applications. The UI Builder supports various client-side environments and automatically morphs data into a proper format to facilitate the frontend operating systems. Users can also connect external databases with the Backendless database to manage and organize existing data sources.

Key benefits of using Backendless

• Build apps for web and mobile quickly and without writing any code with the Backendless visual UI Builder.
• Build and manage APIs visually and with or without code.
• Manage all of your users with the Backendless real-time database.
• Send customizable and personalized emails and push notifications to your users and user segments.
• Serverlessly host your app on Backendless' cloud servers or manage the platform with the Backendless Pro product on your own servers.
