AppGyver describes itself as a “professional no-code platform, enabling you to build apps for all form factors, including mobile, desktop, browser, TV and others”. When you integrate a feature-rich no-code Backendless backend with your AppGyver app, you get a visual relational database, user management, bulletproof security, highly-scalable serverless hosting, and much more.
Thunkable is a no-code app builder specializing in iOS and Android mobile apps. When you integrate a feature-rich no-code Backendless backend with your Thunkable app, you get a visual relational database, user management, bulletproof security, highly-scalable serverless hosting, and much more.
We see more and more complex apps being developed with Backendless. Once an app is released into production, making changes to a live backend becomes very risky and could destabilize the app. App-to-app deployment from Backendless is here to help.
Custom API keys may not seem like the most exciting feature of Backendless, but the flexibility that they provide is extremely valuable. In this article, we are going to take a closer look at this unheralded feature.
In another post, we described how to adjust an object’s access control list (ACL) using Backendless Console. As we mentioned, in addition to Backendless Console, the object’s permissions can be controlled using API.
In another post, we wrote about how to create developer-defined security roles and how to secure data table access for a security role. Ultimately when a client application makes API requests, the security evolves around users, since it is a user who authenticates themselves against the system.
In another post, we described how to obtain a file’s public URL using Backendless Console. Even though anyone can obtain a public URL for a file or directory, it is very easy to change the permissions to restrict file download for anonymous (not authenticated) users.
The ability to update a user account is a common use-case for user management in applications. Either the users themselves or the admin may need to update user properties. Backendless provides the API for updating user accounts, although app admins/developers can do so using Backendless Console as well.
Your application can use the Backendless API to access data, run searches, and store, update and delete objects in the database. When users authenticate themselves with the backend, all subsequent API calls are executed on the behalf of the logged-in user.
