Why Manifest?

Manifest aims to end the polarized "from scratch" vs "low-code/no-code" debate bringing you the best of both worlds: A hassle-free backend packed with built-in features without trading off quality or DX.

Our goal is to empower developers to create and share backends effortlessly.

Manifest fits great in those projects:

• 🛠️ Rapid prototyping, Proof-of-Concepts (POCs), Minimum Viable Products (MVPs)
• 🏭 CRUD-heavy apps with resource management
• 🌐 Making any website or app dynamic
• 🧩 Micro-services and tiny backends

Key features

Auth | Validation | Storage | Image resizing | Admin panel | REST API | JS SDK
