Get data delivered in real-time to subscribed clients using Live Queries.

Store data locally and get you users served even if they are offline (for supported SDKs).

Enjoy responsiveness and low latency with our scalable, multi-region architecture and CDN support.

Cloud Functions

Add Server-side business logic using Cloud Code Functions

Add business logic to your application using javascript functions that conveniently integrate with back4app features like database and authentication. Cloud Functions can run in response to a change in your application's data, a user sign-up, or simply an API call, with even more capabilities.

Install new NPM modules to expand the power of your cloud functions and create external integrations;

Schedule your Cloud Functions
to execute recurring tasks like sending engagement emails,
push notifications, or running
data sanitization processes.

Run your backend code without managing servers. Cloud Functions are single-purpose Javascript functions that are executed in a secure, scalable, managed Node.js environment.

GraphQL, Rest, & SDKs

We speak your language

Fetch data from your application using GraphQL, REST or your preferred SDK. Create your backend in minutes. Our automatically generated APIs include endpoints for all operations and make easy for your to interact with all backend features with few lines of code.

The code generator produces code for the 7 most used programming languages so you don't have to worry about learning curve.

Choose from over ten native SDKs to make your development experience a lot faster and easier.

Three flavors of Consoles to help you build
and debug: GraphQL with auto-complete
support, REST with query support and Javascript with integrated SDK.

Authentication
