"Very easy to use backend for your mobile app!"
5/5
What do you like best about Back4app?

You can forget about servers, networking, load balancers, upgrades, patching, cluster configurations, and database tuning. You manage your data and functions, and Back4App takes care of the rest. Their backend has fantastic performance and availability. We have been using them for 10 years without any single problem. In addition to hosting data in tables, we use cloud functions, triggers, batch jobs, and indexes. Highly recommended! Tip: you can ask them to connect a sink to your Papertrail account for much more detailed logging without additional charges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Back4app?

Renaming collections or columns can lead to disruptions if your mobile app is directly sending queries to them. To navigate this challenge, consider implementing a cloud functions layer that acts as views (similar to stored procedures in older databases). By utilizing these functions and calling them instead of sending direct queries, you gain greater flexibility to make changes in your data model without affecting users who may still be on an older version of your mobile app. This approach allows for smoother transitions and easier management of changes over time.

"Back4app - Best choice for your next app"
5/5
What do you like best about Back4app?

I've used back4app for last months and all I can say is that they are amazing in every aspect.

I would like to begin with their documenation on how to deploy your app. The documentation is well structured and organized, which makes the deploy an easy task even for a beginner like me.

The support and the people behind Back4app are just amazing. They answer fast to any questions and they provide the necessary help.

They also listen carefuly to your feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Back4app?

To be completly honest with you, there aren't things I dislike about their product. They made it simple from the beginning but in same time complex enough to offer users all the features they need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Back4app is fantastic. We dropped down a lot the backend development"
5/5
What do you like best about Back4app?

We are a starup and using the platform and the services supplied by Back4app we dropped down the backend development a lot, focusing on the UI and client-side development. Also, when we start a new app, back4app gives us a free plan that we can use until the app reaches a user base that allows us to pay for an advanced plan Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Back4app?
