Backend as a service (BaaS)
Backend as a service is a hosted platform that provides a product's database, user logins, file storage and server functions ready to use, so the team builds features from day one.
What it means in practice
Supabase and Firebase are the best-known examples, and they take weeks off an early build by covering the plumbing every product needs.
Marshall Tech uses Supabase as the backend for most new products, and adds custom services alongside it when a product needs more.
Where this shows up in our work
We apply Backend as a service across these services when we build for Australian businesses.
