Automatic Backend Without Endpoints: Looking for Feedback
Hey!
I am building a platform to make it easier to build dynamic web apps.
I always thought it was cumbersome to have a frontend, a backend and a database. Instead, I thought that the app backend and database should automatically be created depending on your front-end access patterns.
This led me to implement Allotize, which allows you to connect JS objects directly to an automatically generated backend. This means that you don't need to create a dedicated backend, set up databases etc. Everything works out-of-the box with a single js library.
I am looking for an honest sanity check as this is the first time showing it to others. Is this something you would see useful? Could you share your inital thoughts?

P.S. if you are developing or looking to create some simple experimental collaborative/real-time apps, I would love to help you out :)
Looks great but you should really consider offering a self-hosted option of your backend. Most companies are concerned with the security and privacy aspect of such platforms and if they had to choose between a self-hosted backend like Parse, for example, or this, they would probably choose the first.
So a DBaaS? I really don't understand why so many "front end" developers think that a "back end" can be automatically created. They always need to be "designed".
