Our Mission

Backend infrastructure shouldn't be a competitive advantage for big tech companies alone. We believe every developer deserves access to world-class tools, regardless of their company size or budget.

BackendKit is built on the principle that open-source wins. By making our platform fully transparent and community-driven, we're creating a sustainable alternative to proprietary backend services.

Our Values

These principles guide everything we do at BackendKit.

Open Source

Transparency builds trust. Our entire platform is open-source, allowing you to inspect, modify, and contribute.

Speed

We obsess over performance. Every millisecond counts when you're building products that serve millions.

Community

Our community makes us better. We actively listen to feedback and build features our users actually need.

Security

Your data is sacred. We implement enterprise-grade security measures to protect your applications.

Developer Experience

Great DX isn't a feature, it's a requirement. We build tools that developers actually enjoy using.

Sustainability

We're building for the long term. Our business model is sustainable and aligned with our users' success.
