Equity Tracker Backend

Equity Tracker App Backend Template
Employee Stock Option Management and Automated Vesting

Q: What is an equity tracker backend?

An equity tracker backend is a BaaS schema and API for equity management: employees, stock options, vesting schedules, and transactions.

Q: What does the Equity Tracker template include?

It includes Employee (name, email, position), StockOption (employee, type, amount), VestingSchedule (stockOption, startDate, endDate, cliff), and Transaction (stockOption, date, amount), ER diagram, API playground, and an AI Agent prompt.

Q: Why use Back4app for an equity management app?

Back4app provides managed database, auth, real-time queries, and flexible schema so you can ship financial management, stock option flows, and vesting schedules without running your own backend.

Q: How do I run queries for employees and stock options with Flutter?

Use the Employee and StockOption classes to query and display profiles and financial data, leveraging the Back4app SDK.

Q: How do I create a vesting schedule with Next.js server actions?

Use a server action to create a Parse Object for VestingSchedule with stock option pointers and dates. Optionally validate in Cloud Code.

Q: Can React Native cache employee data offline?

Yes. Enable Local Datastore and pin Employee and StockOption results so users can browse saved profiles and financial data without connectivity.

Q: How do I prevent duplicate stock options?

In Cloud Code beforeSave for StockOption, query existing options and reject if a duplicate exists.

Q: What is the best way to show employee profiles and stock options on Android?

Query Employee and StockOption classes to display profiles and financial data, using the Back4app SDK for data management.

Q: How does the vesting schedule flow work end-to-end?

Employees can track their vesting schedules, and the system updates in real-time using Live Queries for instant notifications.

Build with AI Agent

Use the Back4app AI Agent to generate a real equity tracker app from this template, including frontend, backend, auth, and employee, stock option, vesting schedule, and transaction flows.

Back4app AI Agent

Ready to build

Create an equity management app backend on Back4app with this exact schema and behavior.

Schema:
1. Employee (use Back4app built-in): name, email, position; objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).
2. StockOption: employee (Pointer to Employee, required), type (String, required), amount (Number, required); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).
3. VestingSchedule: stockOption (Pointer to StockOption, required), startDate (Date, required), endDate (Date, required), cliff (Number, required); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).
4. Transaction: stockOption (Pointer to StockOption, required), date (Date, required), amount (Number, required); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).

Security:
- Only the employee can update/delete their profile. Only the owner can create/delete their stock options and transactions. Use Cloud Code for validation.

Auth:
- Sign-up, login, logout.

Behavior:
- List employees, manage stock options, automate vesting schedules, and track transactions.

Deliver:
- Back4app app with schema, ACLs, CLPs; frontend for employee profiles, stock options, vesting schedules, and transactions.
