Prototype – build GraphQL backends without code
Hi HN, We're Rishabh, Aashish, and Noah, the creators of ProtoType: a platform for building GraphQL backends. You can check it out here: https://www.useprototype.com We were fed up with creating the same sort of APIs over and over again when building web applications so we built this tool for ourselves. As we're all in university, we showed it around to our friends and they enjoyed using it to kickstart their projects. After that, we thought we'd host it on a website and allow anybody to use it!

What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN, We're Rishabh, Aashish, and Noah, the creators of ProtoType: a platform for building GraphQL backends. You can check it out here: https://www.useprototype.com We were fed up with creating the same sort of APIs over and over again when building web applications so we built this tool for ourselves. As we're all in university, we showed it around to our friends and they enjoyed using it to kickstart their projects. After that, we thought we'd host it on a website and allow anybody to use it! ProtoType is different from similar GraphQL backend builders such as 8base in that it focuses on data modeling. All you need to do is model your data then hit deploy (no dealing with relational tables). Once you hit deploy, ProtoType will automatically generate and deploy a GraphQL server that supports your data models. On the roadmap is migrations, tutorials, roles/permissions, live server logs, and data metrics (how much your models are created, read, updated, and deleted). Looking forward to all of your feedback!

- BCBackendLab – Code-free web app builder2018 · ▲65
Hi all, I'm currently validating an idea for a new BaaS solution which will allow you to build and host a web app backend without writing a single line of code. The app is called BackendLab and the landing page is here: https://www.backendlab.app/ The idea is that it allows you to define your database models by specifying what fields to include and BackendLab automatically creates a CRUD API which you can start using straight away. We've just launched the public beta and are looking for early adopters (free of charge, just looking for some feedback on the tool) Looking forward…
