Adding a backend

Add server-side APIs with a database to any app. Appifex handles the infrastructure -- you describe what you need.

When you need a backend

• User accounts -- Authentication and authorization
• Persistent data -- Store and retrieve information
• Business logic -- Server-side processing
• Secure API keys -- Third-party integrations
• File uploads -- Process and store files

Getting started

From scratch

"Build a REST API for a blog with user registration,
CRUD for posts, comments, categories, and a database"

Adding to an existing frontend

"Add a backend to store tasks in a database.
Include user authentication. Update the frontend to use the new API."

What you get

Component	Details
API endpoints	Auto-generated based on your prompt
Database	PostgreSQL, set up and connected
API documentation	Interactive page where you can test endpoints
Authentication	Email/password auth when requested

Authentication

"Add email/password authentication with password reset"

Environment variables

Store API keys and secrets securely in project settings -> Environment.
