Show HN: Appteum – Serverless ready back end

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 your data using our Typescript SDK.

Why we built this:

- We couldn’t find a low code tool that provides the backend abstractions we needed but at the same time retain the flexibility of dropping down into code.

- Serverless/Edge computing is affected by cold-starts which requires to control the size of your code dependencies and handle concurrent connection pooling with your database.

- We found current low-code tools like Bubble and Retool don’t offer a great experience for developers. We prefer using our own IDEs, version control etc.

- Sometimes, you need to use a service that is not supported by the low-code platform. It would be great if you could write a few lines of code that would make it easy to integrate into your app.

- From our experience, the traditional way of building APIs is time consuming and repetitive. It would be great if the API would reflect any change on data or security definitions automatically.

Our beta version lets you:

- Create Objects, Fields and Relationships (Objects are equivalent to tables in relational databases).

- Define object-level and field-level security for your users.

- Query your data over our API using a simple SQL syntax.

- Get access to your objects data instantly with our APIs.

- Consume your data over HTTP without requiring managing db connections.

- Import our Typescript SDK in your app and conveniently access your backend configuration.

Our business model is to give developers and their companies a development platform that abstracts away the backend development of an app.

While it is a beta, we believe that even today the experience is meaningful. We are working everyday to make Appteum better for our users. Please give it a shot at appteum.com and let us know how it goes. You will notice that a log-in is required, we don’t collect any telemetry data of our users!
