backend as a service · since 2022

a nicer backend,
handled by humans.

nicebaas is a small-studio Backend as a Service — databases, auth, storage, and APIs — quietly run for you by a couple of people who pick up the phone. We host it on a subdomain, you build the app, nobody pages anyone at 2am.

get your own baas what does that mean?

§ 01 — what it is

the boring
parts, handled.

You ship product. We keep the database upright, the certs rotated, and the backups taken — on a subdomain that's just yours.

/db

a real postgres

Provisioned, tuned, backed up nightly. Connect with any client — no proprietary query language to learn.

/auth

auth without tears

Email + password, magic links, OAuth, role-based permissions. Out of the box, opinionated, sensible.

/storage

files, somewhere safe

S3-compatible storage with signed URLs and image transforms. Drop a file in, get a link out.

/api

APIs & tiny CMS

REST endpoints, an admin panel for non-engineers, and webhooks when things change. Editable by humans.

§ 02 — who it's for

probably you,
if you're —

We're a small studio so we're picky. nicebaas fits a particular shape of project — somewhere between "weekend hack" and "Series B nightmare."

a. a designer or founder shipping a product where the database isn't supposed to be the interesting part.
b. a small agency who'd rather not bill the client for AWS yak-shaving on every project.
c. an editor or producer who needs a CMS that's editable by humans, not a Notion table glued to a CDN.
d. a team between BaaSes — outgrew Firebase, not ready to hire SRE #1, want a human to call.
not a fit if → you need on-prem FedRAMP 100M MAU a 3am pager

§ 03 — the humans

quietly run by
cofactor.

We're a small consultancy that ships software for a living and got tired of standing up the same backend every time. So we made a nice one, once, and rent it out by the subdomain. If you want one of your own, you'll be talking to one of us — not a chatbot, not a sales rep.

§ 04 — start a conversation

want one of your own?

Tell us what you're building. We'll tell you, honestly, whether nicebaas is the right shape for it — and if not, who is.
