BYB – Build Your Backend
Low-code backend platform for rapid REST API development with automated code generation.
About the Project
Development of REST APIs for CRUD operations is often repetitive: defining entities, creating endpoints, implementing validation, writing database migrations. BYB (Build Your Backend) automates this process through a declarative, low-code platform.
Declarative API Definition
Declarative API Definition: Instead of writing code, entities and their relationships are defined in a structured format. The system automatically generates: CRUD endpoints (Create, Read, Update, Delete), more complex operations like filtered searches and pagination, validation logic based on field definitions, and OpenAPI/Swagger documentation.
Export and Deployment
Export and Deployment: The backend definition can be exported as JSON. The byb-engine-sdk reads this definition and deploys a complete, production-ready backend – including database migrations.
Out-of-the-Box Features
Out-of-the-Box Features: Security design with authentication and authorization, admin UI for data and configuration management, automatic database migrations on schema changes.
Highlights
- Declarative API definition instead of repetitive code
- Automatic generation of CRUD endpoints
- Export/import of backend definitions as JSON
- Integrated admin UI and automatic database migrations
Challenges
Balance between flexibility and complexity of definition. Performance with auto-generated code. Extensibility for custom business logic.
Results
Drastically shortened development time for standard APIs. Consistent API structures across all projects. Focus on business logic instead of boilerplate.
