Ahhh Backend As A Service. I guess that makes sense. Not something I could see myself ever using, but I suppose I can see how somebody might use it if they don't know how to write and run their own backends or don't have authority to spin one up.

Guess I'm a little lucky in that I can spin up personal backend services just for kicks, and even though DayJob is pretty corporate and locked down, I can still spin up a new backend on my own with not much oversight as long as it doesn't touch certain sensitive things.

Thanks for a brief and clear description - it's surprising how few people can't seem to write one, and how many official corporate sites bury what their service actually does behind 10 pages of marketing fluff and stock photos.
