A cloud computing model that provides developers with ready-made backend infrastructure and tools, allowing them to focus on building the front end of their applications. Instead of creating and managing servers, databases, APIs, and authentication systems manually, developers can integrate these services through SDKs or APIs provided by a BaaS platform.
A BaaS solution typically includes core backend components such as user management, push notifications, file storage, serverless functions, and database management. This reduces development time, improves scalability, and eliminates the need for server maintenance or backend coding expertise.
Common examples of BaaS platforms include Firebase, Supabase, AWS Amplify, and Back4App. These services are especially popular for mobile and web app development, where rapid deployment and dynamic scalability are critical.
By abstracting away the backend layer, BaaS helps developers launch products faster, reduce infrastructure complexity, and ensure their applications scale efficiently with demand.
