>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

I don't see the advantage over Firebase FireRules , AWS AppSync , Azure Cosmos or MongoDB Stich all of which have advanced querying options with great SDK and integrations support.

This idea is not bad , it's just it doesn't seem to bring much compared to others on the market already offering BaaS...

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I think the main difference between the products you mention and BackendLab is that BackendLab will soon offer the ability to export your code (this isnt yet mentioned on the landing page). So you can build your prototype, export it then build it out. The export would initially be done as a Django project, as that's how the BackendLab api is built

This sounds great. I decided to try it out after reading about this export feature.
