No-Code AI Backend API Generator

A couple of days ago we released an API and backend code generator, allowing you to create APIs and backend code, with little to no prior software development experience.

If you know the basics such as what an API is, what HTTP is, and the basics of SQL, you know enough to create, generate, and deploy an API completely without coding. However, you have to watch the output and actually test your code unless you want bugs to sneak in.

For us having based our existence on top of an extremely narrow DSL, this is a really big thing. 2 days ago there were less than a handful of people on earth that could create backend code with our platform. Today, at least in theory, there are 8 billion people that can do it. Below are a couple of example prompt we've successfully been running through our Hyperlambda generator.

  • "Create and API endpoint with paging allowing me to read records from my CRM database and its contacts table"
  • "Generate code retrieving a random cat fact from Cat Fact API and save it to '/etc/www/foo.md' as Markdown"
  • "Change my endpoint such that only admin users can execute it"
  • "Load the file called '/etc/fruit.txt' and split it into lines and return each line to the caller"

This implies that if you can break down your tasks into separate problems, and describe those problems to our Hyperlambda generator, you can actually create a fully functioning backend using nothing but natural language. Watch me demonstrate how in this video.
