BAASBOX

BAASBOX is the first Backend as a Service (BaaS) that is open source, free to download, free to use and free to modify.

BaasBox is a software that supports all app developers all across the globe who want to develop their apps at the fastest and most convenient rate. The “Box” in BaasBox means that all backend features are in a standalone server, just like a… box. No Application Server, no Database Server, just a JVM and nothing more. All you have to do is download BaasBox, install it wherever you want and connect your application to the Box. You may install BaasBox on your laptop, on your server, on a PaaS provider (RedHat OpenShift, for instance) or on a IaaS provider (Amazon AWS). Although similar to other cloud-computing developer tools, such as software as a service (SaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS), and platform as a service (PaaS), BaaS is distinct from these other services because it specifically addresses the cloud-computing needs of web and mobile app developers by providing a unified means of connecting their apps to cloud services. Currently, BaasBox provides only a little subset of features, and can be used via standard HTTP REST API calls. Soon the number of functions will grow along with its development. BaasBox was built with simplicity in mind. You have nothing to install but a JVM and you are ready to go.
