Introduction
What is Backly?
Backly is a backend management platform built specifically for no-code builders. It gives you a visual control panel to manage every layer of your backend — browse data, manage users, debug webhooks, and configure environments — without writing a single line of code.
Think of it as the missing operations layer for your no-code stack. Where tools like Lovable, Bubble, and Webflow handle the front-end and product logic, Backly handles everything behind the scenes: your database, your API keys, your users, and your integrations.
Who is it for?
- ✓Solo founders building SaaS products on no-code platforms who need backend visibility without a dedicated developer.
- ✓Agencies managing multiple client apps who need a unified control panel across projects.
- ✓Developers-turned-no-coders who want the observability of traditional backend tooling without setting up terminals, Sequel Pro, or custom dashboards.
- ✓Teams scaling a no-code product who need audit trails, user management, and environment configurations.
Quick Start
Create your account
Visit backly.nanocorp.app and join the waitlist. Once accepted, sign up with your email. You'll receive a confirmation link — click it and you're in.
Connect your backend
In the Settings panel, add your database connection string, API credentials, or platform tokens. Backly supports PostgreSQL, Supabase, Firebase, Xano, and more.
Explore your data
Navigate to the Database Browser and start browsing your tables. Filter, search, and view records in a clean, visual interface. No SQL knowledge required.
Set up monitoring
Enable Webhook Logs to capture all incoming and outgoing webhook events. Configure alert thresholds and notification emails in Settings → Monitoring.
Database Browser
The Database Browser gives you full visual access to your backend data. Browse tables, edit records, and export data — all without writing a single query.
Visual table browser
Browse all your tables in a clean grid view. Click any row to inspect the full record and drill into related data.
Search & filter
Find any record in seconds with full-text search and per-column filters. Combine filters to build precise queries without SQL.
Inline editing
Edit individual cells or full rows directly in the browser. Changes are applied immediately and logged for audit purposes.
Data export
Export any table or filtered query result as CSV or JSON — for reporting, migration, or external analysis.
Read / write modes
Toggle between read-only (safe exploration) and read/write (full edit access). Prevents accidental changes during production debugging.
Schema inspector
View your table schema, column types, relationships, and indexes. Understand your data model without a database client.
API Key Manager
Manage all your API keys from a single, secure dashboard. No more scattered keys across five different services — create, rotate, revoke, and monitor from one place.
Create keys
Generate new API keys with custom names, scopes, and optional expiry dates. Organize by service, environment, or project.
Rotate keys
Rotate any key with zero downtime. Backly handles the transition period and invalidates the old key automatically once the new one is confirmed active.
Revoke access
Instantly revoke any compromised or expired key. The change propagates immediately — no waiting, no cache issues.
Usage tracking
See request counts, last-used timestamps, and error rates per key. Quickly identify unused keys to clean up or compromised keys to revoke.
Scope management
Assign read, write, or admin scopes to each key. Enforce the principle of least privilege across all your integrations.
Audit log
Every key creation, rotation, and revocation is logged with the actor, timestamp, and IP address for compliance purposes.
User Management
Your users, right where you need them. View, search, and manage every account from a single panel — no need to log into five different platforms.
User directory
Browse all registered users with their email, plan status, signup date, last activity, and account state.
Search & filter
Find any user by email, name, plan, or status in seconds. Combine filters to build targeted segments for support or analysis.
Impersonation
Log in as any user to debug issues or provide hands-on support. All impersonation sessions are logged with actor, timestamp, and duration.
Account controls
Suspend, unsuspend, or delete user accounts in a single click. Send password reset emails directly from the dashboard.
Plan management
View and modify user plan assignments, including manual overrides for freemium, trial, or legacy plans.
Activity timeline
See a chronological log of each user's actions, login history, and key events — invaluable for debugging or churn analysis.
Webhook Logs
Full visibility into every webhook event, in real time. No more digging through third-party portals or re-running requests to understand what happened.
Unified log
Every incoming and outgoing webhook event in a single, chronological stream. Filter by status, date range, source, or endpoint.
Request/response detail
Inspect the full HTTP payload for any event — headers, body, response code, latency, and any retry history.
Failed event replay
Retry any failed webhook with one click. Backly resends the original payload verbatim and shows the new result alongside the original.
Delivery tracking
See exactly which events succeeded, which failed, which are queued for retry, and their current delivery state.
Endpoint health
Monitor the success rate and average latency of each webhook endpoint. Get alerts when a destination consistently fails.
Signature verification
Verify webhook signatures automatically to confirm events are genuine before processing. Supports HMAC-SHA256 and per-provider schemes.
Platform Integrations
Backly connects natively with the no-code platforms and infrastructure services you already use. Each integration is purpose-built, not a generic connector.
Connect your Lovable-backed project directly. Backly integrates with the Supabase database created by Lovable, giving you full table access, query execution, and user management on top of Lovable's auth layer — without leaving Backly.
Link your Bubble app's Data API. Browse Bubble database types visually, inspect Workflow API requests, and monitor all external API calls your Bubble app makes — with full request/response logging.
Manage Webflow CMS collections, form submissions, and e-commerce orders through Backly's database browser. Handle data operations without logging into the Webflow editor.
Connect any Supabase project with your connection string. Full PostgreSQL table access, auth user management, and storage bucket browsing — all in one place.
Link your Firebase project. Browse Firestore collections, manage Auth users, view Realtime Database entries, and inspect Cloud Function logs side by side.
Connect your Xano workspace. Browse Xano database tables, review API request history, inspect function stack traces, and manage authentication tokens directly from Backly.
Connect your Lovable app
If you built your product with Lovable, connecting it to Backly takes less than 2 minutes. Backly auto-detects your Supabase tables — users, profiles, subscriptions, and more — so you get instant backend visibility without any configuration.
Open Supabase → Settings → API
In your Supabase project dashboard, go to Settings → API. You'll find your Project URL (e.g. https://xxxx.supabase.co) and your anon public key.
Paste your credentials into Backly
Go to backly.nanocorp.app/connect/lovable, paste your URL and anon key, then click 'Detect tables automatically'. Backly will scan your project and surface all available tables.
Review detected tables
Backly will list your tables with their type (users, billing, content, etc.). Select the ones you want to manage and click Connect.
Manage your backend from the dashboard
Your Lovable app's backend is now in Backly. Browse data, edit rows, manage users, and generate API keys — all from one panel, no SQL required.
Lovable tables Backly recognizes
Backly auto-labels common Lovable tables: users (user accounts), profiles (extended data), posts (content), comments (threads), subscriptions (billing), payments (transactions), notifications (events), messages (messaging), and more. Custom tables are also supported — Backly shows every table in your schema.
