Breaking through the challenges of project implementation, Xun'an Technology launched the NoBase Backend Cloud

Insight into Industry Pain Points Leads to the Birth of the NoBase Project

In the current application development field, technical barriers and resource limitations act like "double shackles," becoming the biggest obstacles restricting the implementation of creative ideas. For developers, if they want to quickly build a usable application, they often have to engage in a large amount of repetitive work. They not only need to write backend basic code from scratch but also need to connect and integrate general system modules such as user login authentication, payment settlement, content storage, and management one by one. This process not only consumes a large amount of time and human resources but also directly slows down the overall rhythm from product R & D to launch. Moreover, it will cause the problem of "data fragmentation" in subsequent operations. User behavior data, transaction flow data, and content interaction data are scattered in different system backends. If developers want to monitor core operation indicators and analyze user needs, they need to switch back and forth between multiple platforms for queries. They can neither form a unified data view nor effectively support product optimization decisions.

Based on a profound insight into this industry pain point, Chen Shuo, the founder of Xun'an Technology, and his team officially launched the NoBase project in August 2024. As a young CEO born in 2008 and only 17 years old, Chen Shuo has not only personally experienced the difficulties developers face in backend development but also, with a keen sense of industry needs, assembled a core team composed entirely of post - 2000 members. This young team is familiar with the usage habits and core demands of contemporary developers and has flexible and innovative technical thinking and high - efficiency execution ability. Its core goal is clear: to free developers from tedious backend work through the NoBase backend cloud service, so that technology will no longer be a "roadblock" for the implementation of creative ideas.

In terms of positioning, NoBase precisely focuses on the BaaS (Backend as a Service) track and is committed to building a one - stop API integration platform. Its core concept is the "key to breaking the situation" in the industry, allowing developers to directly call the mature functional systems encapsulated by the platform without writing any backend code. Based on this concept, the project clearly defined four core service scenarios at the very beginning of its launch to precisely cover different user groups. For startup teams with limited resources, they can use NoBase to quickly build a minimum viable product (MVP) and verify market demand at a very low cost, avoiding wasting initial funds and time on non - core backend development. For college students, the platform can simplify the development process of course assignments and graduation projects, enabling students to focus on creative design and function implementation rather than getting entangled in the writing and debugging of backend code. When serving individual developers, NoBase lowers the development threshold for mini - programs and independent applications. Even without the support of a professional backend team, individuals can independently complete the development and launch of their works. For enterprise users, the platform supports them to quickly test non - core businesses (such as internal management tools and short - term marketing activity pages), reducing unnecessary R & D investment and lowering the cost of business trial - and - error.

Product Progress: Breakthrough in the MVP Stage and Expansion of the Ecosystem through Cooperation

Currently, the NoBase project has successfully entered the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) stage, completing the development and initial verification of core functions and meeting the basic usage needs of target users. More notably, the project has reached a key milestone - establishing an ecological cooperation with Siliconflow. This cooperation is not just a simple resource connection but brings "capability upgrades" to NoBase users. Without the need for additional complex technical connections and development, users can directly call the built - in large - model AI interfaces of Siliconflow through the NoBase platform, easily endowing their applications with AI functions such as intelligent customer service, automatic content generation, and intelligent analysis of user needs. This breakthrough not only significantly expands the application boundaries of NoBase, upgrading the platform from a "backend tool" to a "comprehensive service platform for empowering creativity," but also gives target users a differentiated advantage in the highly competitive application development field, further enhancing the market attractiveness of NoBase.

Technical Advantages: Three Core Features to Solve Existing Industry Problems

From a technical perspective, NoBase's competitiveness lies not in a single advantage but in a "combination punch" formed by three core features, precisely solving the pain points commonly found in existing backend tools:

Firstly, an extremely simple interface design. The platform encapsulates complex backend logic (such as user data storage, payment process encryption, and content distribution) into intuitive and easy - to - understand API interfaces. Developers do not need to deeply understand the underlying technical principles. They only need to refer to the clear documentation and can achieve the required functions through simple calls. This design significantly reduces the learning cost and difficulty for developers, completely avoiding the problems of traditional backend tools, such as "complicated configuration processes, long learning cycles, and high technical requirements." Even non - professional backend developers can quickly master the usage method.

Secondly, stability and reliability based on a cloud - native architecture. NoBase is built using a cloud - native technical architecture. Through technical means such as distributed deployment, elastic scaling, and multi - node backup, it achieves 99.9% service availability. This means that whether it is during peak hours when user traffic surges or in scenarios where data storage requirements increase significantly, the platform can maintain stable operation without experiencing downtime or response delays due to excessive server pressure. It effectively solves the pain points of some small - scale backend tools, such as "poor stability and weak risk - resistance ability," ensuring the normal operation of developers' applications.

Thirdly, a weekly continuous function iteration mechanism. To quickly respond to user needs and keep up with the pace of industry technology development, the NoBase team has established an efficient iteration process and adheres to weekly function updates and optimizations of the platform. The team regularly collects user feedback and quickly promotes the development and launch of new features in response to developers' requests, such as "adding new function modules," "optimizing interface response speed," and "improving data statistics functions." At the same time, it also promptly fixes problems that occur during use to ensure a smooth platform experience. This mechanism avoids the limitations of traditional tools, such as "long update cycles, weak customization ability, and inability to adapt to new needs in a timely manner," allowing NoBase to always keep pace with the actual needs of developers.

Thanks to these three technical features, NoBase has successfully solved the core problems commonly found in existing backend tools, such as "complicated configuration, weak customization ability, vendor lock - in, and limited expansion." The extremely simple interface design breaks through the "complicated configuration" barrier, the rapid iteration mechanism enhances "customization ability," the cloud - native architecture and open API design avoid "vendor lock - in," and the cooperation with Siliconflow and continuous function updates break through the "limited expansion" bottleneck, forming a differentiated technical competitiveness.

Market Strategy: Low - Threshold Pricing to Explore Sustainable Commercialization

In terms of market promotion and commercialization exploration, NoBase has adopted a "low - threshold entry" strategy, attracting target users with highly competitive pricing and reducing market education costs. The platform uses a monthly subscription - based pricing model. The personal version is priced at only $9.9 per month, and if users choose the annual package, it is further reduced to $98 (less than $8.2 per month on average). This price is much lower than similar backend service products in the industry (the monthly fee for the personal version of some similar platforms is generally over $30, and the enterprise version is even as high as hundreds of dollars), greatly reducing the usage pressure on individuals with limited budgets, such as individual developers and students. For startup teams, they can obtain mature backend services with only a small investment, avoiding the high human resource costs of building a full - time backend team and effectively alleviating the initial capital pressure.

Although the team has not yet disclosed specific financing information, this "pay - as - you - go" subscription - based payment model has a clear logic and is sustainable. On the one hand, the low - threshold pricing helps to quickly accumulate a user base and build user word - of - mouth, laying a foundation for subsequent market expansion. On the other hand, as the number of users and the payment rate increase, the platform can form a stable revenue stream to support continuous product iteration and team expansion. In addition, the current personal - version pricing also leaves room for future commercial upgrades. In the future, more targeted versions can be launched for different user groups (such as growing startup enterprises and large - scale enterprises) to further enrich the business model.

Future Planning: Deepen Functions and Ecosystem to Build an Efficient Backend Solution
 

Looking to the future, the NoBase team has formulated a clear development direction, always centered around two core aspects: "enhancing user value" and "expanding service boundaries."

In terms of product functions, the team will continue to deepen existing capabilities and optimize the core user experience based on user feedback. For example, it will further enrich the types of API interfaces to cover more general function modules in industries such as e - commerce, education, and local services. It will improve data monitoring and analysis functions to provide developers with a more comprehensive view of operation data, helping them more accurately understand user behavior and product performance. It will also strengthen data security protection by adding functions such as encrypted data storage and fine - grained permission control to meet the high - level data security requirements of enterprise users.

In terms of ecological cooperation, on the basis of the existing cooperation with Siliconflow, the team plans to further collaborate with more upstream and downstream partners to build a more complete service system. For example, it will cooperate with mainstream cloud service providers to offer users a one - stop service of "backend API + cloud server deployment," simplifying the application launch process. It will cooperate with application development tool manufacturers (such as low - code platforms and front - end framework teams) to achieve seamless integration between tools, making the entire process from front - end design to backend call smoother for developers. It may even cooperate with universities and vocational education institutions to incorporate NoBase into the practical teaching systems of relevant majors, cultivating potential users and providing the industry with talents more familiar with backend cloud services.

In the long run, NoBase's goal is not just to be a "useful backend tool" but to build a "core support platform for promoting the rapid commercialization of creative ideas." By continuously lowering technical barriers and development costs to enable more high - quality creative ideas to quickly turn into actual products, NoBase is gradually becoming one of the "infrastructures" in the application development field, injecting new vitality into industry innovation and opening up broader development space for itself.
