The only no/low-code backends I've seen that are worth anything are data migration tools like fivetran that do ETL/ELT from source data to target and let you apply some basic transformation. Even then, they have a very low ceiling before you need python or SQL to do anything useful.

Generally speaking, the golden rule of product development is to identify the problem first, then figure out what will solve it.

"Generally speaking, the golden rule of product development is to identify the problem first, then figure out what will solve it. " You got me there, but it all started as a hobby project which got out of my hands :)
