What is Backend as a Service (BaaS)?
Managed database, auth, and storage consumed via APIs instead of operated servers. BaaS is why solo builders ship full-stack apps: Supabase or BYOB DB replaces the ops team.
Related terms
Managed Database
Storage provisioned inside the builder (BYOB DB, Supabase) without manual setup: credentials land in the project environment and schemas stay inspectable from the workspace.
Supabase Integration
Connecting a Supabase project for Postgres, auth, and storage from inside the workspace: credentials, schema inspection, migrations, and generated types without leaving the builder.
Better Auth
Authentication with managed Google sign-in or email/password flows provisioned for generated apps. Auth pages (callbacks, sign-in) are private surfaces and stay noindexed like any other.
One-Click Deployment
Publishing a site to production hosting without manual configuration. BYOB deploys to an edge network with rollback to known commits when a release misbehaves.
Custom Domain
Your own address (you.com) instead of a builder subdomain, with automatic SSL. The trust baseline for anything commercial: subdomains convert worse and rank no better.
Visual Editing
Clicking page elements in a live preview and asking the AI to refine text, spacing, or layout. It keeps non-developers in flow while the underlying code stays standard and editable.
