I don't know what it is, but I tend to find most of the no-code solutions more time consuming for me, probably because am an engineer or maybe I just lack the patience to follow through with ropes of no-code path
Kartik Grewal
@parkerituk thats interesting! I guess learning curve does require some time initially. I'd love to hear how Canonic performs with you since intuitiveness and lower learning curve is something we definitely aim for.

Hey everyone! ✨ First of all, huge thanks to @chrismessina for the hunt! After our successful launch back in October 2020 πŸš€ (thanks to all of you), it brings me immense joy to announce that we are ready to get out of Beta! πŸ“Œ The Backstory β†’ Building backend is a complicated and tedious process - handling multiple different integrations, database and server scalability, API business logic and many more! We built a tool to solve these pains with the help of a low-code intuitive interface. ⭐ What's new in Canonic? ⭐ - Set up Database and Scheduled Triggers without diving into cron and scripts ⏲️ - Integrate with external databases - Postgres, SQL, MySQL, MongoDB - Choose the region for deployment 🌐 - Select integrations from a community driven marketplace πŸ›οΈ - A new SDK to help you integrate with Frontend easily πŸ–₯️ - A plethora of bug fixes to make the platform smoother. ⏳ Accelerate Development time - With our intuitive interface, defining database models and crafting APIs becomes quick and easy. Logic blocks help you define your business logic. And it's all hosted by default! so you can instantly start integrating APIs with your frontend. β˜€οΈ Single Touch point to manage your entire backend - Everything from hosting, to database, to APIs can be managed on Canonic, saving you the hassle of setting up and managing multiple services. πŸ“ˆ Deploy scalable backend - With instant deployments and serverless architecture, scalability stays high while keeping costs down. As your project grows, you can make use of built-in code editor to write business logic that require code. πŸ€– Automate Events - Database & scheduled triggers help you achieve automation without diving into cron and scripts. πŸš€ We're excited for you to try our new and improved Canonic, and we hope that this tool will help you create an amazing backend. Know someone in your network who is developer? Share it with them! πŸ’™ The Canonic Team and I are beyond thankful to our amazing and supportive Canonic community. Without the incredible amount of feedback and support we wouldn't be here today. Thank you! Onwards & upwards, βš›οΈ Pratham & Canonic Team

This product looks great! I have to test it for sure :) I still have a question: is it possible to secure fields according to the users? For example if the app (the one I build with Canonic) offers 2 roles (manager and user), and you want to restrict access to certain information according to this role? Having tested Firebase, I know that often, as soon as you have some complexity in these controls, it becomes a little hard to put everything in place.
Aditi Jain
@nicolas_legendre yes you can manage access via access tokens or invite collaborators to the project as developers, content writers or administrators
Nicolas Legendre
Hi @aditijain08, thank you for your answer. It wasn't really my question. It was more about security and fields validation process. For example : hide some entity fields to a specific user. Or disable POST method for others... When I say "user", it is the loged in users of my app (not my team member on Canonic).
Aditi Jain
@nicolas_legendre We allow you to add settings for each field that you define. You can decide if that field is required or not required as well as set validations.

Developers can build products at 10x speed on our platform and non developers like me just got the power to actually bring ideas to life. I have thoroughly enjoyed building each part of the Canonic platform along with my super team and super excited to be coming out of beta now. Looking forward to your feedback and all the amazing products that you build with Canonic . Build your backend on Canonic and frontend on Clutch , Bravo Studio 2.0 , WeWeb and all the other amazing Frontend Frameworks out there!

Congratulations on the launch. Looks very useful and amazing platform. Kudos to the team Canonic and all the very best!
Kartik Grewal
@archit1 thanks! Looking forward to you using the platform.
Alex Almada
Congrats, looks like a great product! I am curious, how would the RESTful endpoints behave under high load? is there automatic scalability built into the product?
Kartik Grewal
@alex_almada Thank you! All of the endpoints are hosted on serverless lambda which can scale to great extents on demand.
Amber Varma
Been leveraging Canonic to power our company's back-end for the last 6 months. Our dev cycles have dropped significantly and Canonic has made 3rd party integrations absolutely seamless; being a non-developer, I can now glean insights that were not possible before. They have exceptional customer service and have been releasing updates at lightspeed. Good luck team!
Kartik Grewal
@ambervarma Thanks for the kind words and helping Canonic progress through the months with great feedback.
Shubham Bagri
To get a product to market requires a lot of initial research, dev team hiring and creating a working prototype. Looks like this product will save 80% of that overall dev effort by allowing to build a low code backend super fast! Kudos to the team for making this happen!!
Aditi Jain
@shubsays Thank you so much Shubham
Anurag Sinha
The product is very user friendly and does many things on drag drop. It's comparability with various dbs popular ones postgres, MySQL and mongdb is an added advantage...Earlier such facilities were available only on workflow engines..With canonic almost no coding required ...auto generation mof.apis and db scripts... Elaborate more on community support
Kartik Grewal
