What are Backend Services?

See the FAQs section for WaveMaker app development.


In WaveMaker, you can create an independent backend service which can be used multiple times across your app.

A backend service can be of any type. It can be a data service, web service, java service, security service, or using a third party API. Or, even extending a feature with your own code.

Thus, you can consider external data as a service. Based on the underlying data, you can categorize backend services as Web Services, Database Services, Java Services and Security Services. Each service is converted to a RESTful service and is consumed through their respective REST APIs.

REST APIs

Services integrated into your app is converted to a RESTful service and are consumed through their respective REST APIs. These REST APIs are exposed via the API Designer and can be re-configured as per the application needs.
