What is Backenly
Backenly is an autonomous backend runtime platform. Describe your backend once in plain language, and Backenly's AI brain plans it, builds it, runs it, and keeps it healthy continuously — without you ever writing SQL or touching infrastructure. It provides databases, REST APIs, authentication, file storage, realtime subscriptions, event triggers, and row-level security, all wired together inside one runtime. Production-ready in under 60 seconds.
How to use Backenly
- Describe your backend — Tell Backenly what you need in plain English.
- Backenly builds it — Its AI brain plans and deploys your entire backend, including database schema, APIs, auth, storage, and realtime.
- Connect your frontend — Generate a pairing code and paste one line into your AI builder (Lovable, Bolt, v0, Cursor, Replit, Claude, etc.). The builder fetches your live manifest and wires the SDK, tables, and auth automatically.
- Let it run itself — Backenly monitors your project on a schedule, self-heals issues, and logs every action. Destructive and auth changes wait for your approval.
Features of Backenly
- Database — Fully managed PostgreSQL with pgvector, automated backups, and per-project workspace schemas. Query directly or via auto-generated REST APIs.
- Auth — Built-in JWT authentication and OAuth providers. Enforce access control at the database level with Row Level Security (RLS).
- Realtime — Listen to database changes in milliseconds via Server-Sent Events (SSE). Built-in presence tracking and state broadcasting for multi-player apps.
- Storage — S3-compatible API for storing and serving digital content. Signed URLs, presence-aware uploads, and global CDN edge caching.
- Triggers — Execute business logic automatically in response to database changes. Integrate with third-party webhooks and scheduled cron jobs.
- Self-healing — An autonomous loop watches every project, fixes what it safely can, and logs every action. You set the autonomy level: Off, Conservative, Balanced, or Aggressive.
- Pairing code — One code connects your frontend to your backend. No API keys to copy, no environment variables to wire by hand.
- Rollback — Before any fix, the loop captures a rollback snapshot and verifies the schema. If something looks off, it backs itself out.
Use Cases of Backenly
- Solo founders — Ship your idea without a DevOps stack. Backenly acts as your backend co-founder.
- Non-dev builders — Design and ship with AI tools. Talk to Backenly in English, not SQL.
- Engineering teams — Skip boilerplate and ship product. Backenly handles schema migrations, RLS, monitoring, and rollback while you focus on what matters.
