What makes Backenly different?
Most backend tools — Supabase, Firebase, PlanetScale, Railway — require you to manually design your schema, configure auth, set up storage, and manage deployments. They give you the infrastructure; you still do the engineering work.
Backenly is autonomous from the ground up. You describe your backend in plain English. Backenly understands your intent and plans, applies, and verifies everything: database tables, REST API endpoints, authentication, file storage, realtime subscriptions, row-level security, and deployment — keeping every change reviewable and reversible. No manual configuration. No backend engineering work.
Backenly vs. Firebase
Firebase uses a NoSQL document model and requires manual configuration. Backenly uses PostgreSQL, generates a relational schema automatically, and includes a complete REST API.
