Hey PH community! I'm so happy to be here today representing our amazing and incredibly talented team to share with you our latest tool Back4app Agent. Back4app Agent is an AI-powered tool created to autonomously assist developers in building, deploying, and troubleshooting applications. Our goal when creating the Agent was to simplify the DevOps process, boost efficiency, and increase productivity. Think of the agent this way: It's your personal AI DevOps assistant that you can rely on 24/7. So does the agent do? ✅ Executes tasks: Input your requirements or issues and the Agent generates solutions, code snippets, and troubleshooting steps, and executes & and implements them in the cloud. ✅ Deploys applications: Ensure a transparent and traceable deployment process by creating a new web app from a GitHub repository, managing its settings, initiating new deployments, and accessing detailed logs. ✅ Creates and manages applications: Deploy cloud code, retrieve content, call REST/GraphQL, APIs, fetch schemas, create classes, insert data, and execute cloud code functions. ✅ Manages code repos: With our seamless integration with GitHub, you can fully manage your repositories directly from the Back4app Agent. With the Agent, you can access your repos, push new code, fetch existing code, monitor changes, manage branches, and clone repos. Thanks so much for taking the time to check out our launch. We'd love to hear your feedback, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments! Happy Friday! 🎉 Gus

Review Back4app?

Back4app earns strong praise for ease, speed, and responsive human support, helping teams focus on apps instead of infrastructure. Developers highlight quick setup, clean dashboards, and smooth Parse-based workflows like authentication, Live Queries, and Cloud Code. Reliability and free-tier onboarding stand out; scaling and global access draw recurring kudos. Some note docs could go deeper and want better multi-dev CLI protection, but overall sentiment is highly positive. Makers of

say Back4app frees time to focus on mobile features rather than scaling and ops.

We have been using Back4app for a student React project,and the Back4app solution has really helped us keep focus on learning the coding part and saving more complicated backend setup stuff for later. Since we are making a fairly small project, we cannot speak to how the backend would hold up for more large scale projects (or how well the functionality fits for those purposes), but for smaller projects like ours, Back4app is a very solid solution! The support team also responds to messages very quickly and are helpful and accommodating. This is especially helpful since we are fairly new to coding and might run into more issues than more seasoned programmers. Overall it has been a very nice tool/service to work with!

At first I was looking for an affordable hosting for our indie project. Back4app provided Parse platform back-end and for minimal traffic for development it came out to be free. Then they started Container as a Service platform as well and currently I am testing free version for headless CMS for miniblog in our project. So for now they provide almost all the backend we need (for development) and all that still in free tier. Except what I expected they even provide AI help with Dockerfile if something doesn't seem quite right. I have spent a lot of time searching for backend solution for independent app and Back4app was (and I feel still is) best fit for our needs.

I am using Back4App to host Parse Server, initially developed by Facebook but now open source. In 2023, the Parse platform is not as trendy as similar Google or Amazon offerings, but it is mature, performant, and, once you learn it, really easy to develop with. The platform is also host agnostic, so you are not stuck with a service provider. The host-agnostic aspect of the platform is nice, but I don't know if I will ever switch from Back4App. Their pricing is good, uptime is a non-issue, and their support is top-notch. I've only submitted a few tickets, but they've responded quickly and helped me resolve my issue each time. No complaints, directing me to docs, or telling me I need to pay more. Just good service. In addition to submitting tickets, they support a community slack channel so you can ask broader questions.
