Backstack - API for your frontend codebase

Backstack is a cloud-based Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) model in which developers outsource the behind-the-scenes aspects of a web or mobile app.

One of the key aspects of Backstack is that it allows developers to handle multiple layers of functionality at once. It achieves this by pre-compiling numerous settings to produce a streamlined, individualistic session object ready for processing.

Whether you're starting fresh or enhancing an existing project, integration of the Backstack logic is the same.
