# Base44 Backend

> AI-powered backend platform that enables building full-stack applications with integrated database, authentication, and cloud functions using natural language.

Base44 Backend is an AI-powered application development platform that transforms natural language descriptions into fully functional applications with integrated backend infrastructure. The platform enables anyone to build personal tools, back-office apps, customer portals, or complete enterprise products without writing code, hiring a team, or dealing with complex infrastructure setup.

Base44 Backend provides a comprehensive suite of backend capabilities that work seamlessly with the AI app builder, allowing users to create production-ready applications in minutes rather than months.

- **Backend Functions** allow developers to create server-side logic and business rules that power application workflows, available on Builder tier and above
- **Integrated Database System** provides built-in data storage and management capabilities with database querying integrations for persistent application data
- **Authentication and User Management** offers complete user authentication flows including sign-up, login, and session management out of the box
- **Cloud Storage** enables file uploading and management for applications requiring media or document handling
- **Integration Credits System** powers connections to LLMs, image generation, email sending, SMS sending, and other third-party services through a unified credit-based model
- **AI Model Select** lets Pro and Elite users choose which AI models power their application's intelligent features
- **GitHub Integration** enables version control and code collaboration for teams working on applications together
- **Analytics Dashboard** provides insights into application usage and user behavior
- **Payment Processing** includes built-in payment handling for monetizing applications
- **Email Marketing Tools** allow sending communications to application users directly from the platform

To get started, users can sign up for a free account with 25 message credits and 100 integration credits per month. The platform uses a credit-based system where integration credits are consumed when users interact with features requiring external services like LLM calls, image generation, or email sending. Each integration request costs 1 credit regardless of the integration type. Upgrading to paid tiers unlocks additional features like backend functions, custom domains, and higher credit limits for scaling applications.
