Visual Backend Development Platform

In plain words

Visual Backend Development Platform is a serverless graphical development tool that enables developers to create microservices through visual programming rather than traditional code. It offers the same low-level control as text-based coding while handling asynchronous code flow visually, reducing errors and complexity. Users can deploy microservices to the cloud, Docker containers, or local servers, making it suitable for developers seeking faster, more intuitive backend development without sacrificing control.

From the sources

CONNECT platform allows you to create server-less microservices intuitively and efficiently, without compromising the control you would get with traditional coding. Become faster, less error-prone and more focused. Because of the non-linear flow of asynchronous code, it inevitably tangles upon itself when you represent it in a linear fashion, i.e. text-based representation: Our serverless platform allows you to focus on the logic of your micro-services while CONNECT platform takes care of the rest. OR, use our docker image to deploy anywhere from your own servers to your laptop or use our boiler-plate project to create your own CONNECT-based projects.

  Hey HN, I'm Anurag, founder and CEO of Render, a cloud for application developers. We've just launched Render Workflows, a way to define durable tasks by decorating plain TypeScript or Python functions and running them on Render without operating queues, worker pools, retry logic, and state management. Code example below [1]. The use cases we have in mind include agent loops, ETL/data pipelines, billing flows, and other long-running jobs. The model is simple: mark an existing function as a Task, deploy the repo as a Workflow, then trigger runs from your application code or via our API.…

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
