About CloudBoost
CloudBoost is a backend platform for applications that bundles database storage, realtime data, search, file storage, access control and user authentication in one service. Its README likens it to a combination of Parse, Firebase, Algolia and Iron.io, and stresses full ownership of your data. It is aimed at developers who want a backend without writing server code for every app.
The platform covers JSON and blob storage, realtime updates, search and access control lists. It can be installed anywhere using the supplied Docker Compose file, including local machines and cloud hosts such as Azure, AWS and DigitalOcean. Running it without Docker requires MongoDB and Redis plus Node.js, with configuration files for the database and for an SMTP provider used to send emails.
A managed service is also available for people who prefer not to install or configure anything. CloudBoost is written in JavaScript and licensed under Apache-2.0, and its topics include backendless, BaaS and realtime database. Because the README references MongoDB 3.4 and Redis 3.0, check the current documentation for compatible versions before deploying.
