Very interesting! I particularly like the integrated admin backend -- should save a lot of time. What database are you using to power all of this?

Currently we are using Redis to make the service as fast as possible. Redis gives us a lot of power to improve our query engine. More features on BQL (Backbeam Query Language) are planned so you can make very complex queries very fast. This is mandatory for mobile applications. Other solutions offer very poor query engines so many times you need to do several requests in your mobile application in order to fetch all the data you need. We work hard to avoid that.

For big projects (> 50Gb data) we are going to combine Redis with a disk-based database. We are testing this integration right now.

You would have got more views if you did ShowHN in the title....I think Kudos to posting on HN.

Since I'm not the author, I did not put Show HN.

As well, I used Show HN a couple of weeks back (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5928066) for my own product (https://www.wisecashhq.com/) and it mostly flopped (despite getting on the HN homepage many weeks before thanks to one of my users posting the sample webpage I had at that time).

So well - not sure!
