The simplest backend you will find

Manifest is a complete backend that fits into one file of simple
code.

Our journey to rethink the backend

If you ask 10 backend developers what you should use for your app's
backend, they will probably come up with 10 different stacks. Why?
Because there is no straightforward way to create a backend. One more
step and you suddenly get overwhelmed with databases, runtimes,
containers, infrastructure and so on.

Recently, we have seen cool Backend-as-a-Service products like
Supabase or Appwrite gaining popularity as they offer a fast and
reliable way to deploy backends. However, their no-code approach
generates awful code difficult to follow, making apps less reliable.
Moreover, using a UI is slower than coding, especially now that AI
assistants are here to help you.

Finally, we strongly believe that we can eliminate the backend hassle
without trading off our love for coding properly.

Manifest is currently a Proof-of-Concept (POC)

We aim to validate this new approach for the backend, thanks to your
feedback. Give it a try and let us know what you think via our poll.
