Base44 Backend Platform

The second major feature group encompasses Authentication & Identity and Database & Entities. Base44 includes built-in authentication with Google OAuth ready and support for custom auth flows, eliminating the need for a separate auth provider. The database system allows developers to define their data model in code using TypeScript, and Base44 handles storage, validation, migrations, and queries automatically. This is particularly powerful because the AI agent can generate entity definitions like `Board` and `Task` with relationships, and the platform creates the underlying database schema with intelligent defaults. The combination of integrated auth and code-defined data models means developers can set up a fully functional backend with user management and complex data relationships in minutes.

The third major feature group includes Permissions & Security, Connectors & Integrations, Backend Functions, Realtime Sync, File Storage, and Deployment & Hosting. Row-level security is built in, allowing developers to define exactly who can read, write, or delete data, and Base44 enforces that across all clients. Connectors provide ready-to-use integrations for AI, email, files, and images, plus OAuth connectors for secure third-party API access. Backend Functions enable running secure server-side code for sensitive operations such as accessing secrets and calling external APIs. Realtime Sync delivers live updates across all connected users without any WebSocket configuration or polling infrastructure. File Storage is CDN-backed and permission-aware for production use. Finally, Deployment & Hosting offers one-command deployment with CDN hosting, custom domains, and automatic HTTPS.

How the product works overall follows a simple workflow. First, the developer creates a new app using the CLI command `npx base44 create my-app`. Next, within an AI agent environment like Claude Code, the agent defines the backend based on prompts. The AI agent generates TypeScript entity definitions, and Base44 automatically creates the database schema, sets up authentication and permissions, and configures API endpoints. The developer then deploys with `npx base44 deploy`, and the platform handles all hosting, CDN, and HTTPS. After deployment, the AI agent can continue to iterate by adding features like file attachments or admin permissions, and Base44 applies updates seamlessly. This approach means the AI agent is an active participant in managing the backend lifecycle, not just generating code snippets.

Concrete use cases and outcomes include building a task management system entirely through an AI agent. A developer prompts the agent to create a task app, and Base44 generates schemas for Boards, Tasks, users, and attachments, with authentication and permissions included. The outcome is a fully functional app deployed in under a minute. Another scenario is building a customer portal with custom authentication and role-based access. The AI agent defines entity models and permission rules, and Base44 enforces row-level security. Teams can also build real-time collaborative dashboards using Realtime Sync, where data updates propagate instantly to all users. The outcome is that organizations can ship production-grade tools without dedicated backend teams, reducing time to market from months to days.

Target users are software developers, especially full-stack engineers and AI agent developers who use tools like Claude Code and Cursor. It is also suited for startup teams that need to rapidly prototype and deploy applications without managing infrastructure, and enterprise development teams that require production-ready security and scalability. The platform supports TypeScript natively and can be used via CLI or web dashboard. Base44 is trusted by over 10 million apps and is built to handle real production workloads with reliability, scalability, and security. The takeaway: Base44 redefines backend development by making AI agents first-class developers, enabling teams to build and deploy applications faster than ever before.
