Backenly

Key facts: Backenly launched on Product Hunt on October 31, 2026. It is an autonomous backend for AI coding agents: your agent builds and changes production backends over MCP, and Backenly checkpoints and verifies every change, so history restores are there when something breaks. Destructive actions stay paused for a human to approve, and it can tell the difference between a safe problem it should fix itself and a sensitive one it must leave alone. It includes Postgres, auth, storage and realtime.

Plans: Free to self-host under Apache-2.0. Cloud Free is available with no card, with a self-healing loop running every minute. Pro is $25 a month, and Enterprise is custom-priced.

Best for: Developers who let an AI agent build and change their backend. Who should skip it: anyone who manages their backend by hand and never hands it to an agent.

Pros

• Free to self-host under Apache-2.0, and Cloud Free with no card
• Every change is checkpointed and verified, with history restores when something breaks
• Destructive actions stay paused for a human to approve
• Includes Postgres, auth, storage and realtime, so agents have a real backend to work with

Watch out for

• It is built for agent-driven backends: hand-managed teams get little from it
• Cloud Free depends on a self-healing loop running every minute, so uptime is on the vendor
• A new launch, so agent-driven change history is still being proven

Best for

Pricing
