Hey all 👋🏻, it's Viktor here, creator of JustBackend. Today, I'm excited to share JustBackend with you. As a developer, I was constantly bogged down by database management and backend complexities. I wanted something simpler, so I built JustBackend to replace conventional databases and let us focus on what we love — developing. With JustBackend, you can manage records easily using a simple HTTP-based REST API. Plus, there’s a beautiful dashboard to handle all your data and multiple projects in one place. It's perfect for MicroSaaS projects, rapid prototyping, and quick mockups. I've been using it daily, and it's made my development process much smoother by eliminating the need for database maintenance. I'd love to hear your thoughts and any feedback you have. Thanks!

@v_braun Hi Viktor, Just came across JustBackend and the concept of a simpler backend solution is refreshing! As a developer myself, I'm curious to learn more about: - Can JustBackend handle complex data structures or is it primarily focused on simpler schemas? - How does JustBackend ensure data security and can it scale efficiently for growing applications? If you're looking for collaborators in the future, my experience in API integration could potentially be valuable in areas like: - Exploring ways to support more intricate data structures within JustBackend. - Contributing to building robust security measures for user data and application access. Overall, JustBackend seems like a promising solution for streamlining development workflows. I'd be happy to chat further and see how my skills might align with your vision. Keep up the great work! Best, Max

@max_savonin1 Thank you so much, Max! JustBackend is designed to help developers get started quickly and test out ideas with minimal hassle. For more complex data structures or larger user bases, I highly recommend considering MongoDB or Postgres. Currently, JustBackend supports storing and searching simple documents (nested), with a limit of 10,000 records per project. The primary focus of JustBackend is on simplicity and rapid development, perfectly suited for bootstrapping an MVP and determining the viability of an idea. Looking ahead, I plan to extend JustBackend horizontally with additional features, such as: - WebSocket support: Addressing the challenges of running on edge with frameworks like NextJS, allowing your server to call a REST endpoint and delegate data to client browsers. - Google Docs integration: Offering an alternative storage solution, ideal for simple data collection for surveys, waitlists, etc. - Scheduled triggers: Enabling backend jobs by having JustBackend call your API on a predefined schedule. - Other features are also on my roadmap. I appreciate your interest and would love to connect for potential future collaborations. Thanks again for your support and kind words! Best, Viktor Stay safe!

JustBackend sounds like a real time-saver, Viktor! I'm curious about the setup process. How quickly can someone get started with it for a new project? Also, how does it handle scaling if a project grows beyond the initial prototype stage? Any plans to add more advanced features in the future?

Thanks @kyrylosilin for your questions! Setup Process: It’s super straightforward. Just login, get your unique URL, and start using POST/PUT requests to add data, and GET requests to read it. We also offer code snippets in your preferred language directly from the dashboard to make things even easier. Scaling: JustBackend is designed for side projects or early-stage projects looking to launch quickly. It's limited in terms of the number of records, so as your project grows and requires more robust data handling, I’d recommend transitioning to a database like MongoDB or Postgres. Roadmap: We’re excited about adding WebSocket support, which is currently in development. This will allow browsers to connect with JustBackend using HTTP to send (push) messages to these clients. This feature has been particularly requested by NextJS developers since it runs on edge and doesn’t support permanent connections by default. Additionally, more features in the pipeline include WebHooks, GoogleDocs as storage, and Healthchecks for your APIs.

What a great idea. Now I can start developing without setting up a db layer in the first place.

💡 Bright idea

Is it also possible to import data over CSV?

Hmm... this is actually a great idea. So far, people have mainly requested the feature to use Google Docs as a data store and just use JustBackend as the API access layer. However, an export feature is definitely important, and I will prioritize adding it to the roadmap. Thank you very much @sgroiga !

JustBackend reduces the complexity of the tech stack for projects. For small projects and startup teams, this simplification can significantly lower maintenance costs and technical barriers. However, JustBackend's performance and data handling capabilities may be limited. Compared to mature database systems, its efficiency and stability in handling large volumes of data might not match traditional solutions. If your project suits this simplified data management approach, JustBackend can be a highly valuable tool. For rapid iterations and startup projects, it can significantly enhance development efficiency and reduce technical burdens.
