Hey everybody, so We are just launching Koxy AI and I wanted to talk about some of the cachy features that Koxy AI offers. this will be a series of posts that I'll share here and We will end up building a new version of Neon Music Network using Koxy AI...
What is Koxy AI ?
Well, Koxy AI is a no-code platform that gives you the ability to build your serverless backend without writing a single line of code.
If you want to know more about how Koxy AI works, I recommend you check the getting started documentation.
Koxy AI is more than a no-code platform
Koxy AI offers advanced features to give you the ability to build your backend based on the modern development standards.
Dynamic variables
Let's first talk about dynamic variables... in my opinion this is the most important feature in Koxy AI for anyone building complex and dynamic apps.
You can use dynamic variables to do things like getting a value of an environment variable, previous node's response, parameter, header, and even build relational data documents using Koxy Database.
Simulation
The way that Koxy AI system works is unique, We actually simulate your backend instead of hosting it on a physical server, you can learn more about this here.
Koxy Database
Koxy Database is so similar to Firebase's Firestore, data is saved in collections as JSON documents.
I've added a cool feature to the Koxy Database actually, and it's the feature that prevent us from calling it a NoSQL database. Koxy Database supports document embedding or what's called relational data. I built this feature few days ago actually and I'm excited to see how developer interact and work with it.
Nodes
Nodes are self-contained functions... they can be connected together to build up an API endpoint, what connects nodes together are triggers. there are a number of different triggers in every node. I recommend you check our available nodes list.
There is a lot to talk about
Koxy AI has a huge range of features and I can't cover all of them. I just wanted to talk about some features in the first part of this series and I'll try my best to share a post every day.
Thank you for reading.
