I think you might be looking for Firebase, it is basically a set of components that you can use on your web application and you'll find things like database, authentication, payments, caching.

You could also look at Vercel and Heroku, I think they do similar things, but I've not used them a lot.

Firebase can save you a lot of time at the beginning of your project, but it have so many issues once you start to scale even just a bit, it's such a pain to work with on a real project.(safety issues, bugs, all kind of stupid limitations, your bill can go up extremely easily, it has so many shortcomings)

I'd recommend using some boilerplate from github in your favorite stack even if it might be a little bit longer to build a product with it.

Curious mind here: I have few projects running on Firebase. Haven't had any issues so far. What type of safety issues/bugs and limitations are you referring to?
