Built.io is an API-first enterprise suite that offers an iPaaS (Built.io Flow), Headless CMS (Built.io Contentstack), and mBaaS (Built.io Backend). It champions microservices and APIs and is optimized for IoT, mobile and web.
Built.io is an API-first company that favors microservices so you can build your dream stack. You can use their products together or separately.
Built.io Flow is an iPaaS with a cloud-based drag and drop interface. It has two products, one for business users (Built.io Flow Express) and one for technical users (Built.io Flow Enterprise). You can connect any service, device, or product to connect systems that don't work together out of the box or build automated workflows. This is useful for companies who are trying to connect legacy systems to newer cloud technology or people who are looking to innovate in the IoT space.
Built.io Contentstack is a Headless CMS that decouples code from content. Especially for companies moving towards IoT, who need to deliver content omnichannel (smart watches, teleprompters, etc.) and who are working on mobile apps - using an API-first CMS is a good way to scale up quickly.
Built.io Backend is an mBaaS (or just BaaS) that has a pluggable architecture to build in whatever microservices you want into your database / backend. The way Built.io Backend works is to connect your app with their servers, using a SDK or REST APIs. You can then use built.io as your datastore, rely on it for your data validation and security needs, upload files, push notifications…in short, you can do everything that you used to rely on a backend for.
Built.io Backend features a complete set of functionality, such as:
- Data storage
- Advanced queries on your data
- File Storage
- ACLs (Access Control Lists) for security of your data and files
- Analytics
- Webhooks, as an integration mechanism
- Push Notifications to iOS and Android devices
- CMS
