Backend
Serverless backend with API routes, database access, scheduled functions, cron jobs. Scales automatically.
Your app runs on a scalable, serverless backend that can handle millions of function calls per day and run scheduled tasks at any interval.
What can the backend do?
Section titled “What can the backend do?”- API routes for handling frontend requests
- Database access for querying and updating data
- Scheduled functions to run at specific times
- Cron jobs for recurring task execution
- Public API to expose endpoints for external apps
How do I view backend activity?
Section titled “How do I view backend activity?”Open the Backend tab to monitor:
- Function execution history with logs and errors
- Scheduled jobs — pending and completed
- Recurring / cron jobs
How does it scale?
Section titled “How does it scale?”The backend is serverless — it scales up and down as needed. This means it’s cheap and fast.
