What is Flatlogic?
Flatlogic is a backend-as-a-service platform that helps developers build applications without writing server code from scratch. It provides pre-built templates and tools to generate data models, configure database schemas, and set up backend infrastructure quickly. The platform includes built-in analytics and reporting features so you can monitor how your application performs in production.
