Hi, I'm Valeriu, the developer behind Stack on Cloud. With so many Backend as a Service (BaaS) platforms out there, you might wonder: why build another? The answer lies in my years as a software engineer, where I kept running into the same problem—wasting time on repetitive backend setup across projects. I saw a gap in the market for a smarter, developer-focused solution, and that's why Stack on Cloud exists.

Provisioning databases, securing authentication, coding APIs—these are must-haves for any app, but rebuilding them from scratch every time is a resource drain. Existing BaaS tools help, but many miss the mark on simplicity, flexibility, or developer experience. Stack on Cloud is my response — a platform to cut the grunt work and let you focus on what makes your app unique. Read about our official launch to see how we're changing backend development.

Here's the story of why we built it and how it's designed to empower developers like you.

Core Design Principles of Stack on Cloud

Powered by PostgreSQL for Real-World Needs

We chose PostgreSQL as the heart of Stack on Cloud—not because it's trendy, but because it's proven. While NoSQL has its place, many apps thrive on relational databases. PostgreSQL delivers:

Rock-Solid Integrity: ACID compliance keeps your data safe.
SQL Flexibility: Handle complex queries without breaking a sweat.
Scalability: Grows with your app, no compromises.

This isn't about forcing a tool on you—it's about giving you a PostgreSQL backend that's managed, fast, and ready for real-world workloads. See our features page for more details on our PostgreSQL implementation.

APIs That Build Themselves

Writing CRUD APIs shouldn't steal your time. With Stack on Cloud, you define your database schema, and we handle the rest:

Instant REST APIs: Fully functional endpoints, no coding required.
OpenAPI Docs: Auto-generated, clear, and integration-ready.
Developer-Friendly: Pagination and filtering baked in.

It's automation that respects REST principles and cuts development friction to zero. Learn how to build a scalable backend with our auto-generated APIs.

Security You Don't Have to Sweat

Authentication and authorization are non-negotiable—but they're also a pain to build securely. We've got you covered with:

Pre-Built Auth: Powered by Keycloak for email/password and more.
Role-Based Access: Control who does what, effortlessly.
Less Risk: No reinventing the wheel means fewer vulnerabilities.

Focus on your app, not security boilerplate. Our documentation provides comprehensive guides on implementing secure authentication.

Who Stack on Cloud is For—and Why It Matters

Stack on Cloud is built for:

Developers: Solo coders or teams who want to ship faster.
Startups: Small squads needing scalable backends without big budgets.
Businesses: Anyone looking to ditch operational overhead.

Here's the value we bring:

Faster Builds: Skip repetitive tasks and launch sooner.
Simpler Operations: We manage the backend so you don't have to.
Better Focus: Spend your energy on features, not infrastructure.

Whether you're prototyping an MVP or scaling a production app, this platform streamlines the process. Find out why Stack on Cloud is the best BaaS for developers compared to other solutions.

The Big Picture: Solving Backend Pain Points

At its core, Stack on Cloud tackles the inefficiencies I've seen firsthand—hours lost to backend setup that could've gone into innovation. It's not just another BaaS platform; it's a tool to make development smoother, faster, and more enjoyable. With a managed PostgreSQL backend, auto-generated APIs, and baked-in security, it's designed to scale with you while keeping things simple.
