When will you launch?

Hi all webdevs on HN,

I'm Martin from RestDB and Codehooks.

We're a indie tech company from Norway which have worked in the backend-as-a-service space since 2013 when we founded restdb.io.

We wanted to take the more technical parts of that project and build something really simple and user friendly which could be used to build and deploy backends much faster, but still similar to the tech we love (Node.js, Express, JavaScript/Typescript, MongoDB, Redis).

We think it's a viable alternative to Firebase and Supabase.

It has a free plan and the following features:

- Serverless Javascript/TypeScript Functions - Automatic CRUD REST API (no coding required) - Built-in document database with MongoDB-like queries - Built-in key/value store - Worker queues (for async/background processing) - CRON-like and scheduled jobs - Realtime client connections - Easy web-based UI for managing data (import/export/query) - Let's encrypt SSL certificate - Hosted static web pages - Templates - complete solutions from one codebase - we've added Codehooks Analytics which is a free open source template which can be used instead of Google Analytics if you want full control of your data. - Coming soon: web based code editing

We hope you'll try it out for your next project and would love feedback!

Hi all,

we've recently bootstrapped and launched codehooks.io, an easy serverless backend service for Node.js developers (JavaScript/Typescript). It provides a simple way to create custom microservices and integrations without the need for complicated server setup.

The main pitch is:

Build APIs and microservices in no time with a database powered serverless Node.js backend with zero config

Some ideas we've had so far include:

    Writing articles and tutorials about using codehooks.io
    Participating in relevant online communities and forums
    Reaching out to potential partners and collaborators
    Posting on LinkedIn and Twitter

We know this space is really competitive and there's a ton of well funded startups there. Today, we are partly funded by our mother-company restdb.io and lots of non-paid voluntary work.

Do you have any ideas or suggestions on how we can get more attention from developers for codehooks.io?

Or even better: some real feedback about the pitch and the positioning of the service.

Thanks in advance for any help!
