Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, and welcome back for another deep dive. Today,

(00:02):
we're going to be taking a look at No Code
back End.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Oh yeah, this is a cool one.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Yeah, it's been making some waves, you know, in the
no code space, and we've got tons of questions and
answers from the Appsumo deal page. Actually, i'll tell you
the first thing that really jumped out at me was
the lifetime access. Yeah, you know, I mean fifty databases
at the top tier for just three hundred and nine dollars.
You usually have to pay like what five hundred eight
hundred dollars per database to a developer, So this is

(00:28):
kind of a crazy value proposition.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
It is, really, and you know, looking at these questions here,
you can see that people are really thinking about that.
You know, they're not just looking at the surface. They're
digging deep. They're really trying to figure out how this
could be a game changer.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
So for anyone who's maybe not familiar with no Code
back End, what does it actually do? Essentially, it's a
platform for building custom rest APIs without you know, having
to write code. There are three tiers available on Appsumo.
The basic one gets you three databases and they scale
up from there and the top tier boasts swapping fifty databases.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, what I find really interesting is their focus on AI.
They're using it to help design the database and even
automatically generate those API end points. And that's a huge
time saver, especially for people who aren't like, you know,
coding wizards.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
And it looks like people are impressed. They've got like
seventy nine reviews an average of four point eight stars,
So that's got to say something. But like you said,
they're not just you know, taking it at face value.
One of the biggest things that comes up in these
questions is all about authentication and security. For sure, people
want to know, you know, is their data safe?

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Right. There are a lot of questions about how they
handle secret keys and if it's GDPR compliant. M there's
a lot of concern over the exposure of secret keys,
and the No Code back end team reassured users that
they use header based authentication, which means the secret keys
themselves aren't actually transmitted over the network. They're only visible
on the user system, which reduces the risk of compromise.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Right. So it's kind of like your house keys, you
keep them safe at home. You're not like you know,
broadcasting them to the world. But then there were also
some users who were wondering about where their data is
being stored, especially in relation to GDPR compliance.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, and they clarified that all their databases are hosted
on AWS servers in Germany, and Germany has strict data
privacy laws which helps address those GDPR concerns. And they
also emphasize that users have complete control over their data.
You can download it or delete it anytime you.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Want, so that's good transparency. So it seems like they've
got the security and privacy stuff pretty well covered. But
what about the actual databases themselves. There were a lot
of questions about the futures and functionality. For example, one
user asked if it was possible to import an existing database.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Right, and unfortunately that's not available just yet. It is
in development though, which is good news for people who
you know, have massive data sets they want to bring over.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Okay, And then kind of on the flip side of that,
some users wanted to know if they could export the
APIs they create and run them locally.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, for now, it seems like those APIs are pretty
tightly integrated with no code, back ends, infrastructure. They did
highlight a new search function though that lets use search
records by ID. So that's a nice quality of life improvement.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, definitely. They also mentioned some upcoming features like filtering
records based on specific criteria and drum roll please, support
for foreign keys.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Oh, that's a big one. Foreign keys let you create
relationships between different tables in your database, which is essential
for building more complex data structures.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah. So it sounds like they're really listening to what
users are asking for and building out those features absolutely.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
And speaking of listening to users, let's move on to integrations.
It seems like no code backend plays well with a
whole bunch of popular no code tools like Bubble, Webflow, Flutterflow,
even bolt dot New.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Oh yeah, that bolt dot New integration is really interesting.
They even have a demo video showing out works.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
It is a great example of how no code back
in can add serious functionality to your existing toolkit. And
for those wondering about platforms like WooCommerce or Shopify, if
it supports API integration, you can probably use it with
no code back end.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
So they're basically saying, hey, if you can connect to
an API, you can connect to us, which opens up
a lot of possibilities. It does, but with all these
lifetime deals, there's always that question in the back of
people's minds, what about the long term? Is the price
going to suddenly skyrocket? Will there be API call limits
down the line.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
It's a valid concern, and to their credit, No Code
back End has been very upfront about their plans for sustainability.
They've made it clear that Apsumo buyers are their top priority,
and they've even promised discounts on any future subscription based
add ons, So.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
They're basically saying, hey, we're in this for the long haul.
We're not going to leave our early supporters hanging in exactly.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Their strategy seems to be to use this apsumoe deal
to get a solid base of early adopters, get some feedback,
refine the platform, and then eventually move to a recurring
revenue model. They did mention that new users might have
some limits, but existing users will be grandfathered in.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Which makes sense, and they also mentioned a potential monetization
feature where users could actually sell their APIs directly through
the No Code back End platform.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Now that's when things get really interesting. A marketplace for
user generated APIs all powered by a no code platform.
It's a bold vision. It'll be really interesting to see
how it plays out.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Definitely. Okay, so we've covered the basics, the security aspects,
the database features, integrations, we've even peeked into their future plans.
But I'm curious what were some of the recurring themes
that you noticed in the user questions? What were people
like really concerned about or excited about.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well, one thing that popped up a lot was this
desire to connect to existing databases. As we mentioned, that
is in development, but it's clearly something that a lot
of people are waiting for.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, I can see why starting from scratch can be
a pain.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Another one was concerned about potential API columits after the
apsumo campaign is over, which is understandable. People want to
know that they're not going to be hit with unexpected
costs down the line.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, for sure. And speaking of user feedback, some real
gems in there. One user offered to create a whole
course on no code back end, but then they worried
that they were too selfish to keep that knowledge to themselves.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Uh huh, right, the passion is palpable. It's clear that
this platform is really resonating with people who are eager
to break down the barriers to entry in software development.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Absolutely welcome back.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Let's dive into some of those specific user questions and
see how the no code back end team is responding.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, what kind of questions diod out to you?

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Well, there are a lot of practical questions about how
to use no code back end for different use cases.
For example, one user wanted to know about storing video content.
Could they store videos directly in the database or how
should they handle like embedding videos in their app?

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Well, that's a good one. Video stores can be tricky, right.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
And they recommended using a dedicated video hosting platform like
Gumlet and then just storing the video urs in no
code back end as text. That way their APIs can
easily fetch those URLs when needed.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Makes sense, keeps the database lean and focus on what
it does best, managing data relationships exactly.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Then you had some users who were clearly new to
the whole API world asking some really fundamental questions like
would a single database be enough for both their website
and a mobile app?

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Ah, the age l how many databases do I actually need? Dilemma?

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Right, and no code back end reassured them that yes,
a single database can definitely handle both. They even pointed
out that the Tier one plan with its three databases
would be more than enough for that user's needs.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
I like that they're tailoring their responses to the individual's
experience level. It makes it feel more approachable.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, for sure. It shows they're thinking about making API
development accessible to everyone, not just seasoned developers.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Okay, let's talk integrations. There were a bunch of questions
about specific platforms. One user was wondering about using no
codeback end with Noah, which is a no code app.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Builder, right, and Noah usually relies on platforms like Superbase
or Firebase for the back end stuff. So this user
was wondering how to make no code back end work
with Noah.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
So how do you bridge that gap?

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Well, no Code back End explain that you can actually
use Noah's API integration panel to connect directly to the
APIs generated by no code back end. So as long
as Noah lets you integrate custom APIs, you're good to go.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Oh, that's pretty seamless. It seems like a recurring theme
is that no code back end can integrate with pretty
much anything that speaks API. You've got another question here
about Woo commerce integration for example, right, and.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Once again no code back end confirm that it's compatible,
just like with any other platform that supports API integration.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
So they're really driving that point home they are. They're
basically saying, look, if you connect to an API, you
can connect to us, which opens up a lot of
possibilities it does. Okay, so we talked about integrations, but
what about features that are still on the horizon. The
ability to import existing databases was a big one, as
we mentioned earlier. What's the latest on that.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Well, they assured everyone that it's still in the works.
They're actively developing it, which is good news for people
who don't want to have to rebuild their entire data
based from scratch.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Yeah. Absolutely. Another feature that people were really eager for
was support for foreign keys. Right.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
That's crucial for building more complex databases where you need
to establish relationships between different tables. And the good news
is they confirm that foreign key support is already developed
and being tested right now.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Wow, that's further along than I expected. It shows their
series about making this a real bust database platform.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah. And they also announced a new search function that
lets you search records by ID, which is a handy
little addition.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, and on top of that, they're also hinting at
plans to add filtering capabilities so you can search for
records based on more specific criteria.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
It's like they're reading our minds. These are all features
that will make working with data in no code back
end even more powerful and intuitive.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Okay, so we've talked about new features, but there's one
more thing I want to touch on that has everyone buzzing.
The potential for monetization.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Ah. Yes, the idea of selling your APIs directly through
no code back end. That definitely sparked a lot of interest.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah. Imagine, not only could you use no code back
end to power your own applications, you could create a
whole new revenue stream by selling your APIs to other
developers or businesses.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
It's a really intriguing concept. Essentially, they're laying the groundwork
for a no code ATI marketplace, which is.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Kind of mind blowing. Anyone, regardless of their technical skills,
could potentially become an API provider. It could really shake
things up in the software development world.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
It's a bold vision. It raises a lot of interesting questions.
But before we get ahead of ourselves. Let's take a
step back and look at the bigger picture.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Okay, so what kind of overall takeaways are we seeing
from these user questions and responses.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Well, I think the biggest one is that there's a
real hunger for tools that democratize software development. People are
excited about the potential of no code back end to
make building powerful applications accessible to everyone.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah. I'm seeing that too. Yeah, and I'm also really
impressed with No Code back End's commitment to transparency and responsiveness.
They're clearly listening to their users and building a platform
that meets their needs.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Absolutely, they're not just throwing a product out there and
hoping for the best. They're actively engaging with their community,
which is a really positive sign.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
I agreed. Okay, so we've covered a lot of ground.
We've explored specific user questions, looked at upcoming features, and
even touched on the potential for monetization. But there's still
more to unpack.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Right in the final part of our deep dive, we'll
be analyzing the broader implications of no Code back end
and its potential impact on the future of software development.
Don't miss it.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Welcome back to Part three of our deep dive on
no code back End.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
You know, going through all these user questions and responses,
it really hits you how much this no code movement
is gaining traction.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah, it's really exciting to see. There's so much energy
and possibility around platforms like this. People are realizing that
you don't need to be a coding expert to build
really powerful applications exactly.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
And that's really what no code back end is all about, right,
democratizing software development. It's giving people the tools to create
those custom APIs without having to write a single line
of code.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
And let's not forget about the lifetime access deal on Appsumo.
You know, that's a game changer in terms of affordability.
You're getting access to a powerful platform at a fraction
of the cost of hiring a developer.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
For sure. It's not just about saving money though, think
about the time you're saving by using their AI features.
It automates so many tasks that would normally take a
developer hours to do.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
That's huge, especially for startups or solopreneurs who are working
with limited resources.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
And as now, Code back End continues to evolve and
add more features based on feedback it's only going to
become more powerful and accessible.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
It's really exciting to think about all the things people
will create with this kind of power. But you know,
one thing that kept coming up with the questions was
this concern about long term sustainability. What happens after the
Apsumo deal?

Speaker 2 (12:49):
You know, right, people are always a little wary of
lifetime deals. They want to know that they're not going
to get hit with surprise costs later on.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
And I have to say I was really impressed with
how transparent No Code back back End was about this.
They kept emphasizing that absomal buyers are their priority, and
the even promised discounts on future subscription based add ons.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, and they laid out a pretty clear strategy for
building a sustainable business. It seems like their main focus
right now is on getting those early adopters, gathering feedback,
and refining the platform before eventually moving to that recurring
revenue model.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
So they're playing the long game, which is reassuring for
people who are investing in the platform.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Okay, so let's do a quick recap of the key
takeaways from our nocode back end deep dive.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
All right, what are the main points you want our
listeners to walk away with.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
So, first and foremost, No Code back End allows you
to build custom rest APIs without coding, which saves you
time and money.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
And they do a great job of making it easy
to use even for non coders thanks to their AI
features that handle a lot of the technical stuff.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Exactly, And they have an amazing lifetime deal on Appsumo
with different tiers to fit your needs.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
But beyond the deal itself, they seem really committed to
their users and they have a clear view for the future.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Perfectly said. Yeah, now, before we wrap up, I have
one final thought for our listeners.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Go ahead.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
We've talked a lot about how no Code back End
is making software development more accessible, but what about its
impact on existing developers. How do you see tools like
this changing the landscape of software development as a whole.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
That's a great question. I think tools like No Code
back End can free up developers from having to do
those tedious, repetitive tasks, which lets them focus on more
complex and creative work.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
So it's not about replacing developers, but more like augmenting
their abilities.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah, exactly, and who knows, it might even lead to
new kinds of development. Roles that we can't even imagine yet.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
It's definitely an exciting time to be involved in the
software development world, and listeners, we'd love to hear your thoughts.
What do you think about the rise of no code platforms.
Do you see them as a threat or an opportunity.
Share your thoughts and questions in the comments below. Until
next time, happy building,

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
