About Backendless
Backendless is a visual app development platform with a UI builder, a real-time database and a backend for apps. It also includes AI-driven automation through a tool called FlowRunner.
What it does
You design interfaces in a visual builder and define data relationships in a schema modeler. Frontend logic and backend functions can be built without writing code, and messaging is included. The platform positions itself as a complete toolset, so teams can rely less on third-party services for the parts of an app they need.
