A little over a year ago I was building an app, and decided I'd have literally no backend at all. I wanted to build something fast and ship it to the appstores as quickly as possible to go through the process. After I launched, it was featured by apple and was getting thousands of downloads per day. Users wanted to be able to save their data across devices - but it wasn't something I really had time to build in the ways I had in the past. I had heard what Dark was up to, and was lucky enough to join the beta. Dark now powers the backend for my app (nzd.life) - and I really can't express just how amazing it is to use. We added the functionality in just a weekend with a handful of LOC. Dark really is a game-changer. For any entrepreneur / dev who wants to move fast and ship things, they should try Darklang ASAP.

This is an awesome case study. Thanks for sharing. I was having trouble coming up with good use cases for this, but this makes a ton of sense. It's basically like a much more advanced, better Firebase/Lambda/Google Cloud Functions/Azure Functions.

I am in the same boat. I often build apps that are pretty much 98%+ clientside, but there are just a few routes I need for the backend that would add a lot of value, but if I were to create those I can no longer sleep soundly at night because suddenly I have to worry about online storage security, pingdom checks, deployment pipelines, etc.

Now I get where this could be really, really useful.
