What is Base44 Backend Platform?

Base44 Backend Platform is a complete, managed backend designed specifically for AI-agent-driven development. It allows developers to build and deploy full-stack applications with a single command—no backend setup, no configuration, and no infrastructure management. The platform is battle-tested by over 10 million production apps and is now available as a standalone service optimized for leading AI agents like Claude Code and Cursor. Instead of wrestling with complex APIs, AI agents use simple "Skills" to define backend logic, data models, and integrations. Getting started is as easy as running $ npx base44@latest create.

Who it's for

• Solo founders and indie hackers who want to ship full-stack apps fast without hiring a backend team or managing servers.
• AI agent developers who need a backend that understands natural language prompts and generates production-ready logic, APIs, and data models automatically.
• Product teams that want to iterate quickly by describing features in plain language and having the backend adapt without long development cycles.

Key features

AI Agent Optimization

Base44’s CLI is built for AI agents like Claude Code and Cursor. Instead of complex API documentation, agents use instant "Skills" that reduce rework and speed up deployment. You describe what you want, and the backend is created and updated for you.

Authentication & Identity

Google OAuth is ready out of the box, with full support for custom auth flows. No separate auth provider is needed—Base44 handles identity management, so you can focus on building features.

Database & Entities

Define your data model in code, and Base44 handles storage, validation, migrations, and queries with full TypeScript support. This means your database schema is always in sync with your application logic.

Permissions & Security

Row-level security is built in. You define who can read, write, or delete data, and Base44 enforces it across all clients. This eliminates the need to write custom authorization logic for every endpoint.

What stands out

"Base44 uses AI to understand what you’re building and generate backend logic, APIs, and data models automatically."

This is the core differentiator. Traditional BaaS platforms require you to manually string together multiple services—auth, database, file storage, realtime sync—and then write custom APIs. Base44 flips the model: you describe your app, and the platform generates the entire backend. This means fewer dependencies, less setup overhead, and dramatically faster iteration. For teams using AI coding assistants, this removes the biggest bottleneck—backend configuration—and lets agents ship complete features in minutes instead of days.

Worth checking out if…

You want to build and deploy full-stack applications without managing backend infrastructure, especially if you're using AI coding agents like Claude Code or Cursor. It's also a strong fit if you're tired of stitching together multiple BaaS services and want a single platform that handles authentication, databases, permissions, file storage, realtime sync, and deployment—all with one command.
