Build

From zero to a running realm in a few commands: get backd, generate a project from the template, and run its compose stack locally.

The words backd’s documentation uses, in alphabetical order, one line each, with the page that explains each.

Environment variables that control backd at runtime.

Request IDs, request bodies, errors and health endpoints.

Users, sign-in methods and passwords in each realm.

Organizations group the users of a customer and the documents that belong to them. The concepts: roles, membership, effective roles, claims, invitations and deletion.

Encrypt some fields before they reach MongoDB, with a key you hold a copy of: what that protects and what it doesn’t, how keys work, and where each part is documented.

Run server-side logic next to your data: sync calls, background jobs, cron schedules and webhooks, with the rules, secrets and limits that keep them safe.

Let documents carry files, kept in the realm’s own S3-compatible object storage: how a realm connects its storage, and what backd checks.

Devices, templates and sending: backd registers the devices of your users and sends their pushes itself.

Libraries for calling backd from applications.

Example applications built on backd, and what each one shows.
