👋 Hey Product Hunt!
I’m Akshay Srivastava, co-founder of BackStract, and I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Mayson — our next-generation low-code backend builder.
Last year, we launched **BackStract Alpha**, helping developers auto-generate CRUD APIs and ship backends faster with **0 vendor lock-in**. We learned that teams want *speed* without losing *control over their code*.
**So what’s new in Mayson?**
Mayson takes everything we built in BackStract Alpha and supercharges it:
- Generate CRUD APIs instantly from database tables
- Deploy backend API collections without cloud setup
- Perform advanced DB operations (CRUD, JOINs, Postgres support)
- Secure your APIs with UUID, JWT, encryption, and password validation
- Integrate external APIs and raise custom exceptions
- Use visual code blocks for loops, conditions, and data manipulation
- Export production-ready Python code for full ownership and transparency
- Version control with rollback
Coming soon:
- Prebuilt packages (auth, payments, AI, CRM integrations)
- Team collaboration on API collections
- Endpoint-level debugging
Why use Mayson?
If you’ve tried no-code or low-code tools and felt locked in, you’ll love Mayson. You can build CRMs, dashboards, booking systems, e-commerce backends, and even high-scale enterprise apps; all in record time. And when you’re ready, just export the entire backend as real code.

We’d love feedback from the Product Hunt community:
Which integrations should we ship first?
What pain points do you face building backends fast?
Thanks for reading, and thanks to everyone who supported our Alpha launch; this one’s for you! 🚀
@akshaysrivastava Congrats on the launch! My 2 cents: I'd change TLD as for most of the western companies it doesn't look trustworthy enough.
How did you like Prague? :)
Mayson
@agilek Thanks for your feedback. We're trying to acquire .com but let's see.
P.S: Prague was beautiful :), extremely smart of you to figure out from the background of my picture.

This is great.

The BackStract team has been on a crazy journey — and with Mayson, they’ve just solved one of the biggest dev headaches: build backends instantly, without lock-in.
Here’s why this matters 👇
Auto-generate secure, production-ready APIs in minutes
Deploy to your cloud, export your clean Python code
No vendor traps. Full control. Full speed.
This isn’t “just another low-code tool.”
It’s the future of backend building — fast, transparent, and actually dev-friendly.
If you’re building an MVP or scaling to production, you’ll want to keep an eye on this one. 🔥
Congrats to the team on launching someth
ing game-changing!

This is so cool, backend in minutes and full code export? Yes please!
Mayson
@abod_rehman Yup, one-click ship, and we’ve got your scaling + failovers covered.

You talked about collections, what is a collection?
Mayson
@srinikitha Think of collections in Mayson as the building blocks of your backend - they define your data model, and Mayson handles storage + APIs around them.
Really love the product @akshansh_gusain can't wait to start spinning up some apis

Instant API generation with zero vendor lock-in is honestly the dream for quick MVPs—especially since I’ve been burned by closed platforms before. just curious - Is Python export customizable too?
Mayson
@cruise_chen Thanks for your reply. Don't worry, your hands won't be burned here. From day 1 - we were very clear that there should be 0 vendor lock-in.
What do you mean by customizable in code export?
I’ve recently used Mayson (formerly BackStract) in one of my projects, and I have to say the experience was excellent. The auto-generated CRUD APIs, easy database integration, and the option to export code really saved me a lot of development time. It gave me the speed of a no-code tool while still keeping the flexibility of owning my backend. Excited to see how the platform evolves — definitely recommending it to other devs as well!
Looks cool, all the best👌

"Production-grade backends for your MVP" is a solid value prop
What was the genesis of the idea? what promoted you to work on this specific value prop?
