      <title>I Built SaaS! POST Data, Get an API — No Backend Required</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi everyone,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So I built &lt;strong&gt;Supaserver&lt;/strong&gt; — a backend that creates itself.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  What Is Supaserver?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Supaserver is a REST API proxy that automatically creates endpoints and stores data. No configuration, no boilerplate, no deployment headaches.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here's the entire workflow:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Store data (endpoint is created automatically)
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;curl -X POST https://api.supaserver.app/tasks?apikey=dk_705b3400ab&lt;br&gt;
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"&lt;br&gt;
  -d '{"title": "Launch on DEV.to", "done": false}'&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Retrieve it immediately
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;curl https://api.supaserver.app/tasks?apikey=dk_705b3400ab&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That's it. No setup. The &lt;code&gt;/tasks&lt;/code&gt; endpoint didn't exist before — Supaserver created it when you sent data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Why I Built This
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I wanted something where I could just &lt;em&gt;send data&lt;/em&gt; and have it stored, retrieved, updated, deleted — without thinking about databases or servers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Quick Examples
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Create and Fetch Users&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;await fetch('https://api.supaserver.app/users?apikey=dk_705b3400ab', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify({
    name: 'Alex',
    email: 'alex@example.com'
  })
});
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Get all users&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;const response = await fetch('https://api.supaserver.app/users?apikey=dk_705b3400ab', {});
const users = await response.json();
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Full CRUD Out of the Box
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Method&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Endpoint&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Action&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;POST&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;/tasks&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Create new task&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;GET&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;/tasks&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Get all tasks&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;GET&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;/tasks/:id&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Get single task&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;PUT&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;/tasks/:id&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Update task&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;DELETE&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;/tasks/:id&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Delete task&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All endpoints support filtering, sorting, and pagination:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;GET /tasks?sortBy=createdAt&amp;amp;sortOrder=desc&amp;amp;limit=10&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  What's Under the Hood
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;NestJS&lt;/strong&gt; backend with MongoDB&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;JWT authentication&lt;/strong&gt; + API keys&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Data isolation&lt;/strong&gt; — each user's data is completely separate&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Built-in request tester&lt;/strong&gt; — like Postman, but in your browser&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Who Is This For?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Indie hackers&lt;/strong&gt; building MVPs fast&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Hackathon participants&lt;/strong&gt; who need a backend in minutes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Students&lt;/strong&gt; learning frontend without backend complexity&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Developers&lt;/strong&gt; prototyping ideas before committing to infrastructure&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Try It Free
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Supaserver is live at &lt;a href="https://supaserver.app?utm_source=dev.to"&gt;supaserver.app&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sign up (free)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Get your API key&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Start sending data immediately&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No credit card, no complex setup.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  I'd Love Your Feedback, especially if you've launched a SaaS project ;)
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm curious what you think:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Is this useful for your workflow?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What features would make it better?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Would you use it for a real project?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for reading!&lt;/p&gt;
