We have been working together for a year. We found in 8base a company with a lot of professionalism, human values and commitment. We were able to achieve the goals we set ourselves. And we hope to continue working together for a long time.
We have nothing to dislike about 8base, we would like to continue working together in the future.
We worked on an 8base core-project where they needed an ad-hoc development team. We were able to deliver it on time working as a team with them.
As a small business, 8Base has become increasingly useful as a single touchpoint for all our database and infrastructure needs. It's become easier for us to manage and scale our technologies as we use them. Its low-code environment can be managed even by non-technical staff. This is a huge plus! In addition, a number of other qualities come to mind: the customer service has been timely, the platform has the ability to easily and manually fix/input data, to quickly search and query information, and to silo data into a variety of environments with a single click.
Over three years, several times I have had our database go down and we were unable to see what went wrong. This is a big problem, as we are in the Healthcare space and working with doctors. Since those times, the customer support and engineering team at 8Base has drastically improved and we have issues fixed in no time. It's great!
8Base is solving the challenge that non-technical teams or teams with not enough dev capacity have when creating a company that requires some development work. This is an important chance to be able to break into a market with no dominant player.
Their knowledge of business and entrepreneurship Their partnership and communication Their loyalty Their commitment to excellence
Nothing at this moment. Thanks for asking!
8Base had to pivot the engineering of our project due to Russia-Ukraine conflict, and thus far, have navigated a difficult situation beautifully.
We love the ability to quickly create functions that exist behind a GraphQL API, without needing to set up the additional infrastructure or security. The ability to easily modify and change data structures within the data storage system is a game changer, as it allows for great amounts of flexibility as you explore customer needs. Overall, the platform has sped up development through to deployment and we are able to implement changes or enhancements much quicker. The more our development team uses 8Base, the more positive feedback we receive. 8Base is preferred over even comparable AWS tools!
Overall, there truly isn't much to be critical of. If we had to critique, we would like to see a way to easily tack on a monitoring system to centralize our logging system with the rest of our tools.
8base is allowing us to develop without having to set up the infrastructure that goes into building a net new product, including but not limited to, our deployment pipelines and the infrastructure as code. Outside of this, it is simply an easier platform for our junior devs to pick up quickly and start running with. As a high-growth startup, speed to market is key - 8Base is helping solve this business challenge.
Not only does the technology platform help organization achieve profound business objectives, but it is also scalable and incredibly robust and unique.
we did not know about them earlier- no complaints
A Dramatic increase in velocity gains for development and cost savings that would have otherwise not been achieved. Great product development through 8base
Turning your ideas into reality is made easy using 8Base. We at ITWox specialize in working with Startups, most of the startups have similar challenges like the cost to build, time to market, and infrastructure management etc. We are able to solve most of these challenges using the 8Base platform. A few interesting features to talk about are - Managing the data is easy because of the prebuilt API. - The UI is easy to understand, and very interactive. - The API explorer is a very useful tool.
As 8base is developing new features, the documentation is sometimes not very clear or does not look deep enough into the functionality, so it is difficult to get complex data structures done at first.
We are managing, supporting, and enhancing a few startup businesses to build on 8Base. - For non-technical founders wea ree helping them to build the full-scale technology business - With the App Builder, we are simplifying the front-end web app experience.
My company, ITWox Inc., (www.itwox.com) provides a "Virtual CTO organization" for FinTechs and other start-ups - including technology strategy, product strategy, UI/UX design & development/support services spread across our 3 delivery centers (USA, Costa Rica & India). 8base has been a great partner & platform for our customers as it takes care of some of the harder plumbing in any application/platform development (DevOps, Security & Infra scaling) as the platform reduces the time/effort significantly. Onboarding new developers have been a breeze for us & on average it took us 2 days for a developer to know the platform in-depth as well as start building apps. This in itself is a significant gain in productivity. As we work with start-ups, 8base has been a great fit to get to market much faster, with stability & scale of the backend. Overall: very happy with the platform & excited to see it take off in the community
You are limited to AWS Cognito or Auth0 for authentication - but then these are good enough for most of our client base. Besides that, not much to dislike here as it does what it claims to do.
- bring products to the market as fast as possible - ability to find technical talent & ramp up & scale quickly to the client's needs - have a strong technical base to build & iterate on products/platforms
8base has truly created a game-changer. The dynamic Graphql API is amazing! Just use the GUI to define your tables and fields, and the GraphQL API is dynamically created/updated.
From the beginning, I was wishing 8base had some front-end tools to help with development, but they've just released their drag and drop front-end editor—another game changer.
ReactJS and other technologies make it easy to make gorgeous front-end and single-page applications. The heavy lifting has always been the back-end. Making an entire AWS back-end is no easy/small task, but 8base makes it so.
I have been using 8base for 2 years and a half now. It has been the best tech investment we made in the early days to build https://luego.eu. By abstracting most of the technical challenges for us, they turned DevOps into a commodity. This enabled us to focus on Product from day 1 and deliver a truly differentiated experience to our customers, instead of wasting time on building our own infrastructure. Using 8base is a key pillar of our product and go-to-market strategy because it enables us to iterate faster than the competition. Last but not least, the reactivity of their support and the quality of their help is astonishing.
I wished there was a better way to monitor issues in production with a dashboarding of performances and alert systems. Also, the question of the ownership of our data and vendor lock-in remains. We still don't know what will happen if one day we need to change our infrastructure and migrate our data out.
The main benefit of 8base is the privilege of developing software by focusing mainly on products and customers instead of infrastructure. It enables teams to stay small and iterate fast while having the impact of a startup with an internal DevOps team.
8base re-shaped the way software is built. As a Software Developer and Product Manager, I love that I can use the bests strategies for prototyping a digital product to actually build a powerful scalable system.
I think that what the platform is missing is a mechanism to extend it. There are hundreds of potential features that the platform could have that can be built by a strong community.
Building products faster, period. 8base takes the concept of Low code to the maximum expression. Their Data modeling tool and cloud functions are the most powerful tools that I've ever used to deliver apps faster.
