How Backenly works, and how to use it
Seven guides covering the whole path: connecting a coding agent over MCP, the build loop and the checks that run after it, the data API your frontend calls, the authorization model, what the autonomy loop does once you are live, and how to run all of it yourself.

Reference that lives outside these pages
Some of what you might want is better read at its source than paraphrased here.
llms.txt
The complete machine-readable reference: every endpoint, the full tool table, plan limits, and the architecture. Agents can also fetch it at run time with the fetch_docs tool.
The source
The platform is Apache-2.0 and the client libraries are MIT. Everything the hosted product runs is in the repository, including the autonomy engine.
Plan limits
Capacity per plan: projects, monthly active users, storage, AI credits, and which features are plan-gated. Kept in one place so no guide restates a number that can move.
Use cases
Five workflows with the problem, what Backenly does, what stays yours, and the known limitations of each.
