Your website looks really pretty on mobile and Desktop. How can I build something like this? If you don’t mind me asking. Thanks.
Thanks so much. a lot of effort went into design, messaging, construction and optimization. Most of it was done by our team internally. We hired an illustrator to help with bold colors and images and then our lead designer took the lead and built it on Webflow. We hired a Product Marketer focused on developer products to help us with messaging. Aside from that, a lot of work and attention to detail from all of us.
Really impressed with their product! They've been doing everything right for an early stage startup. I love that they don't encourage vendor lockin while making it just as productive to build stuff with them (they're just a GraphQL API). Their pricing is also much clearer (and honestly much cheaper) than most of the competition, especially something like AWS Amplify, which doesn't even have a pricing page. Their docu…
Thanks samwight! What project(s) are you building on 8base right now?
The docs link is returning error 404 - any chance this has a user management system built in? The tight integration of cognito, GraphQL, and database is something AWS really got right. I'd much rather use 8base than Amplify but I can't tell if you're going to make me first roll my own user management system (hint: making me roll my own user management system is a major incentive for me to look elsewhere)
Building in user management has and continues to be a huge priority for us. My background has always been in building complex enterprise software and I was always frustrated in how we needed to build authentication, user management, role-based security, etc. each time. 8base's role-based-security is very strong and easily configurable. In the next few weeks we are releasing a new and improved user management capability that improves the one we have now. We will continue rolling out new application infrastructure capabilities as time goes on so that the backend is overwhelmingly compelling.
I was impressed with the 8Base GraphQL strategy since I met you at the GraphQL conference, and am psyched to see how far it has come. I especially like how accessible and affordable 8Base is for any developer. Clearly, 8Base listens to developers.
Thank you Lisa! Yes, you have a great vantage point, having met us about a year ago. We have been heads-down!
mister_hn, We are really focused on being a production-ready hosted solution but who knows what the future holds. Keeping options open and eager to hear what you and other users think about that.
I think that serverless tech will continue to take over bigger and bigger companies, not only is feasible for startups, but companies and products like 8base are pushing this forward!

yes, and with years of experience watching so many startups go out too early to tell their story fully and with all their ducks lined up.Good job
It’s refreshing to see a team deliver a high-quality user experience on an early version of their product. Day zero pixels and thread count separate the winners from the losers, in my humble opinion. You guys have clearly sweated the details from your website to the product. Well done 8base!

WOW thank you. "Sweat" is a good word to describe how we got here, for sure. We really appreciate when people notice.

Thanks, alacret. To us it only makes sense that serverless, which provides a better capacity/utilization model, will be the future. The technology is still evolving and a big part of 8base is how we simplify the provisioning of Serverless.
