One platform. From idea to running.

If you can describe it, you can build it — and run it. Your product goes from plain words to a live application, all in one place.

Create an online store…

You describe. We build.

Describe what you want in plain words. Watch Back4app build it with you, live.

DRAFTPUBLISHED
mystore.b4a.run

Refine in Draft. Publish to production.

Build freely in Draft. Publish when it's ready — live on its own URL, ready to scale.

It all runs on Back4app.

Database, backend, hosting, auth — all on Back4app. No rented backend, ever.

Beyond building

Built to run. Made to grow.

Publishing isn't the finish line — it's where your project starts working for real. As it grows, Back4app grows with it. Managed, reliable, yours.

Draft, then Production

Build and test freely in Draft — no limits, nothing live. Publish when it's ready, and your project goes live in a true production environment. The way serious software ships, not a preview that happens to have a URL.

A draft, private to you, becoming a published project live at yourproject.b4a.run

A production environment that scales

A managed database and infrastructure that grow with you — vertical and horizontal. Real capacity you control, not a shared tier with a ceiling someone else set.

Run it and manage it.

Production is a real place to operate your app — not just a URL. Live logs and monitoring, your database, your users, your secrets — all separate from Draft. You run the real thing and manage it, day to day.

Everything managed on Back4app. No third-party backend rented behind the scenes.

Trust

Secure by default.

Your app's data is protected from day one. Access control, permissions and authentication come built in — you never wire security up yourself.

Permissions on everything

Every piece of your data knows who is allowed to see it and who is allowed to change it. Set up for you, checked on every request.

Auth and roles, built in

Real user accounts, roles and sessions come with your app. Sign-in and access levels work out of the box.

Certified where it counts

The platform your project runs on is audited and certified — SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR and HIPAA. You inherit all of it the moment you publish.

G2 — Users Love Us

“I'm creating a CRM prototype app without typing a single line of code. Now you can create something just by having an idea, without need to learn for years.”

“Ideal for developing MVP and POC. Structuring tables is much easier, the documentation is vast, and the AI Agent helps us considerably.”
