https://www.appteum.com//

Hey HN! We are Nikolas and Giannis, founders of Appteum, and we are excited to announce Appteum.com to HN community. For the last few months we've been building Appteum and can now share our public Beta with you. Appteum is a backend development platform that makes it easy for developers to configure serverless ready backends for their apps. You can configure your backend and then interact with...

nice project and thanks for sharing! I understand you create it to replace spreadsheets but it would be nice if you could export into a csv/spreadsheet for archiving purposes mainly
Thanks geomatblue. - At the moment you can export all your data using our APIs. Would adding an export functionality to csv format be valuable to you? - We dont have any archive feature at the moment but we could easily add soft-deletes is it the same for your use case? - For the duration of the beta we dont have any rate limits on accounts other than the maximum records you can fetch in a single batch using our GET API. We plan though to add API rate limits later on. - You can combine both slicing and cursor based pagination. I will give you an example: You can use the GET API [0] and limit the amount of data to retrieve using the LIMIT keyword and subsequently call the CURSOR API [1] and control the batch size using the x-query-batch-size header

Hope it helps, let us know if you have any other questions/comments.

Thanks serkis85 glad to hear that you joined our beta. - Technical wise we provide the backend scaffolding, so as a developer you don't need to handle the infrastructure, db, APIs etc. for your app. Once you configure your backend settings we use this configuration as metadata and handle everything it needs to be done in the background. Using our APIs/SDK in your code is like you have your db, apis, and security in a single library.

Business wise, using Appteum saves you all that time you would otherwise need to set up and maintain your backend if you choose to create everything from scratch.

- If I understood your question correctly you are referring to the security of your data. Appteum is a multitenant platform with each workspace being physically isolated, we designed the system this way to provide maximum security for our users. In addition to the internal security of your data, we provide profiles and permission sets where you can configure the access your user has to your data up to the object/field level.

Thanks f1ght4fun. I agree with both points here - most backend developers find it boring and time consuming creating new or modifying existing crud APIs every time the business requirements change.

Now as far as the data query engine, I can feel the pain of whoever tries to choose the best ORM out there. For the last few years there were a lot of efforts to abstract away anything related to databases (native sql, admin, internals etc) but all of them have serious limitations at the end of the day.

With Appteum we try to handle all of these pain points for you, so developers can focus on the business requirements they have in front of them.

Happy to hear what you plan to use Appteum for. Hop in our Discord and we can chat: https://discord.gg/8ETmPedepG
