StaticBackend
Low code self-hosted backend API to build web apps
A free and open source low-code backend server API. Easy to self-host. Handles most, if not all common web application building blocks like user management, database, file storage, realtime components, server-side functions and schedule jobs, etc.

Hey there, I started working on StaticBackend back in late 2019. I made it a completely open-source project in January 2020. I'm proud to release the v1.5 today. I was tired of rewriting the same code repeatedly for all the SaaS I've built. I decided to create a platform that would allow me to host all my current products' backend and focus on the product's primary solution instead of infrastructure and common backend aspects. StaticBackend is a simple and low-code backend server API. Very simple to self-host and flexible in the type of database you prefer. It handles PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and SQLite. Depending on what you're building, you have the flexibility to choose your preferred database engine. Another distinction is the way you can architect your application using a built-in PubSub / message system that you can use to run scheduled jobs and execute server-side functions. The main goal of StaticBackend is to offer developers all the common building blocks they need on the backend to build most web and mobile applications and launch faster. There's paid managed hosting as well for those that prefer to use an existing instance. This open-source project is 100% self-funded and the paid hosting and GitHub sponsorship is how I'm trying to sustain myself. Thank you for checking it out. Dominic
