Hi Product Hunters! 👋 As a developer, I’ve been in countless situations where backend APIs were still in progress while we were already building the frontend. The best workaround I had was using tools like the npm package json-server. It’s great for local development, but the limitations were clear, no deployed version, no integration into CI/CD workflows, and definitely no way to test it alongside a deployed frontend. That’s why I built MiniBackend several years ago and now launching it again with an Life Time Deal (LTD) package. It is a tool that takes this concept a step further. With MiniBackend, you can easily create and host mock APIs on the internet, making it seamless to integrate into your CI/CD pipelines. It’s there for your whole team, not just on your localhost. How It Works? ⚙️ 1️⃣ Upload or create a JSON payload that defines your data. 2️⃣ MiniBackend automatically generates REST APIs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) for the JSON structure. 3️⃣ Access your hosted APIs via a public URL, ready to integrate with your frontend or CI/CD workflows. 4️⃣ Update or modify your APIs anytime as your project evolves. 5️⃣ Manage multiple versions and multiple stages of your endpoints from MiniBackend dashboard. Who Is It For? 🤷‍♂️ 👉 Frontend Developers: Eliminate the bottleneck of waiting for backend APIs during development. 👉 Designers & Product Teams: Test UI/UX workflows with realistic data. 👉 QA Teams: Run tests against consistent, hosted mock APIs. 👉 Teams Practicing CI/CD: Integrate mock APIs into your pipelines to ensure smooth deployments. How Is It Different From json-server? 🔥 ✅ Hosted on the Internet: Unlike json-server, MiniBackend works beyond localhost, you can share APIs with your team or use them in a deployed frontend. ✅ CI/CD Integration: Mock APIs can be part of your deployment workflows. ✅ Team Collaboration: Everyone from developers to QA and stakeholders can interact with the same hosted data, eliminating silos. ✅ Persistent API State: No need to recreate your setup every time you restart, your APIs are always available online. I built MiniBackend to solve a real challenge I faced daily. If you’ve ever been in similar shoes, I’d love for you to try it out! Feedback, ideas, and suggestions are always welcome. Let me know what you think. 🙏 Cheers, Aemal Sayer
