What is a backend service?

A backend service is a cloud-based system that helps you build and manage your backend infrastructure. It provides a set of tools and services for managing databases, user authentication, and other server-side functionality. This enables you to focus on building your applications without having to worry about managing the underlying infrastructure.

Why would I use a backend service?

You might want to consider a backend service if your project has complex server-side needs, for example:

  • user sign-ups and authentication
  • persistent data storage
  • user-uploaded asset storage
  • API generation
  • realtime communication
  • application monitoring
