JustBackend replaces traditional databases, letting you focus on developing. It provides a straightforward HTTP-based REST API for easy data management: reading, adding, editing, and deleting. Ideal for MicroSaaS projects, rapid prototyping, and quick mockups.
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.
congrats on the launch, justbackend seems like a valuable tool for developers seeking simplicity in project setups. i'm curious, how does the performance of justbackend compare when handling larger datasets typically seen in production environments? are there any limitations in terms of scalability?

@mashy 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.
It comes with simplicity and other features such as WebSocket Notifications will be delivered soon so that devs can build fast MVPs and validate their Ideas.

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.

Great idea, Viktor! That makes it a breeze for me to kick off a quick little project in the evening again!!! :)
