Serverless platform for developers

Table of Contents

What is Catalyst?

Catalyst is a full-stack cloud-based serverless development tool that provides backend functionalities. Catalyst helps developers build microservices and web applications. Adapting a BaaS (Backend as a Service) model, Catalyst provides universal, server-side components as programmable elements.

Thus, as opposed to setting up and maintaining the server-side components, you can instead invest your time and effort into designing the user experience of the serverless applications.

These are the three major components that Catalyst provides: Backend as a Service, Function as a Service, and WebClient Hosting. These components allow for rapid application development, near-zero server maintenance, elastic scaling, and pay per use.

Benefits of using Catalyst

  • Accelerate innovation: Build apps and features and run experiments in hours instead of weeks. Enable faster and more secure development, deployment and operations.

  • Zero server management: It lets businesses focus on core business logic and optimizing their applications.

  • Auto-scaling: As the application grows in volume in terms of adoption and usage, Catalyst can accommodate the increase in volume automatically, without developers having to worry about capacity planning and database allocation.

  • Cost savings: Usage-based metering is one of the biggest advantages of Catalyst. Businesses will be charged only when the functions are called, and avoid paying for unnecessary or underutilized services. Even better, with Catalyst, businesses need to pay nothing until their project is deployed to production. They can also avail a free sandbox that is a replica of the entire production environment. Catalyst users also get up to 125 million free invocations for the first year
