Building a backend shouldn't feel like wrestling with infrastructure gremlins. As developers, we've all faced the grind of provisioning servers, tuning databases, and hand-coding APIs—time that could've been spent crafting features users love. Today, I'm excited to announce the launch of Stack on Cloud, a Backend as a Service (BaaS) platform that puts those headaches to rest. With managed PostgreSQL databases, auto-generated REST APIs, and robust authentication, Stack on Cloud lets you deploy a production-ready backend in minutes. Best of all? You can start for free.

This isn't just another cloud service—it's a tool built by engineers who've felt the pain of backend complexity and decided to fix it. To understand our vision and why we built this platform, check out Why We Built Stack on Cloud. Let's dive into what Stack on Cloud offers, why it's a game-changer, and how you can get started today.

Introducing Stack on Cloud

Stack on Cloud is a BaaS platform designed to accelerate development for solo developers, startups, and businesses. At its core is PostgreSQL, the battle-tested relational database loved for its reliability and SQL power. We've paired it with a suite of features—managed databases, instant REST APIs, and secure authentication—to give you a backend that scales without the operational baggage. Explore our complete feature set to see everything we offer.

You define your data model, and within minutes, you've got a fully functional backend with APIs ready to integrate into your app. No server configs, no boilerplate code—just results. Whether you're prototyping an MVP or scaling a production app, Stack on Cloud is here to simplify your workflow. See our documentation for detailed implementation guides.

Key Features of Stack on Cloud

Managed PostgreSQL Databases

Why It Matters: PostgreSQL delivers ACID compliance, complex querying, and data integrity—perfect for real-world workloads.

What You Get: Fully managed instances with automated backups, connection pooling via PgBouncer, and point-in-time recovery. We handle the ops; you focus on building.

Auto-Generated REST APIs

Why It Matters: Writing CRUD endpoints is tedious. Stack on Cloud generates them for you.

What You Get: Instant RESTful APIs based on your database schema, complete with OpenAPI 3.1 documentation. Generate type-safe clients in TypeScript, Python, or any language you prefer.

Built-In Authentication

Why It Matters: Security can't be an afterthought.

What You Get: JWT-based authentication with OAuth 2.0 support and role-based access control (RBAC). Add two-factor authentication (2FA) for extra peace of mind—all out of the box.

API Key Management

Why It Matters: Control who accesses your data and how.

What You Get: Generate and rotate API keys with fine-grained permissions. Secure your endpoints without breaking a sweat.

What's Coming Next

We're not stopping here. Our roadmap includes:

Distributed Caching (Q2 2025): Redis Enterprise for lightning-fast performance.
API Gateway (Q3 2025): Advanced routing and rate limiting.
Vector Database (Q4 2025): AI-ready with PGVector for semantic search and recommendations.

Why Stack on Cloud Stands Out

In a sea of BaaS platforms like Firebase, Supabase, and AWS Amplify, Stack on Cloud carves its niche:

PostgreSQL-First: Full SQL power, not just NoSQL compromises.
Developer-Centric: Intuitive dashboard, OpenAPI docs, and a free tier that actually delivers.
Transparent Pricing: Usage-based, starting at $0—no hidden fees.
Future-Ready: Features like vector databases keep you ahead of the curve.

For startups racing to market or developers juggling solo projects, this means less time on infrastructure and more on innovation. Learn more about why Stack on Cloud is the best BaaS for developers.

Step 1: Create Your Account

Getting started is simple. Head to stackon.cloud and click "Get Started Free." No credit card required—just sign up with your email. You'll land in our clean, no-nonsense dashboard, ready to build.

Step 2: Create Your First Project

Once logged in:

1. Click "Create Project."
2. Name it something meaningful (e.g., "MyAppBackend").
3. Hit save, and you're in.

From here, set up your PostgreSQL database:

1. Go to "Databases" > "Create Database."
2. Define your tables and schema via the UI.

Within minutes, your backend foundation is live. For a detailed walkthrough, check out our getting started guide.

Step 3: Leverage Your APIs

Navigate to the "API" section to see your auto-generated REST endpoints. Download the OpenAPI spec and generate a client:

npm install @openapitools/openapi-generator-cli -g
openapi-generator-cli generate -i openapi.json -g typescript-fetch -o ./client

Hook it into your app:

import { Configuration, DefaultApi } from './client';

const api = new DefaultApi({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',
  basePath: 'https://api.stackon.cloud/v1'
});

const data = await api.getTableData('myProject', 'myDatabase', 'users', 0, 10);
