Heading to Disrupt 2021

The past few months have been quite intensive at the Canonic HQ. We worked on new features, performance & stability improvements, an entirely new onboarding, multiple environments support and finally came out of beta through a Product Hunt launch in August 2021. And it's not over yet. This year, Canonic is headed to TechCrunch Disrupt 2021 and we can't wait to see you all there.

If you're new to Canonic, I recommend reading about our product and how we're trying to reduce backend development time and effort ,through an intuitive low-code platform, before you move on further to learn about our new developments for Disrupt 2021.


Getting ready for TechCrunch Disrupt 2021

Disrupt is unarguably every tech startup's dream place to be. A chance to show off your product in one of the biggest tech conferences, network with inspiring people around the world and play a part in shaping the tech of the future and the future of tech. We'd be lying if we told you that all of us aren't crossing off days on our personal calendars.

That being said, we know it isn't easy to leave your mark on the tech world without putting in some serious work. Don't worry, we've been preparing.

Here are some new things that we've worked on:

  • Database Integrations: Import or link an existing PostGres / MySQL / MSSQL / Mongo database into your Canonic project and generate APIs for them.
  • Improved SDKs: New backend and frontend SDKs allow you to focus on your frontend code while building a low-code backend, without ever leaving your dear console.
  • Onboarding: With more tutorial projects to choose from and an improved experience, learning how to supercharge your backends with Canonic has never been easier.
  • Database & Scheduled Triggers: Automate your workflow by adding database triggers with Slack, Twilio and Mailgun integrations as well as adding scheduled triggers to trigger periodic or one-off events.
  • Multiple Environments Support: Let's face it, deploying changes for a large-scale project can be scary. Test out all your changes by deploying it to an internal testing environment before you make it live.
  • New Sample Projects: We've created multiple sample templates that you can replicate for your particular use-case. Want to build an Airbnb replica? Check. WhatsApp replica? Check. Twitter, Spotify, Netflix, Kindle? Check. Check out all available sample projects here.
  • Improved security, performance and scalability: Let's face it. Crashes and bugs can be annoying roadblocks on the way to productive nirvana. We've stayed up days & nights to ensure a smooth experience. Let's get to building that backend at lightning fast speed, eh?

The features saw a lot of positive feedback from the ProductHunt community. Furthermore, a lot of our recent weeks have been spent on testing and validation of these features; ensuring their functionality and ease of use.

The Canonic Booth @Disrupt 2021

This year, due to the disrupting pandemic (see what I did there), the event shall be held virtually. The Canonic team will set up a virtual booth where you can interact with the founders, take a demo of the product and check out one of the fastest backend developing low-code tools out there, all in real time. It's about time that the world gets to know about this tiny company based in India trying to make backend development easier, faster and more accessible.

If you've already grabbed your passes, do stop by at our virtual booth! We'd love to chat with you and help you make your backends faster. And if you still haven't purchased those all-important passes, what're you waiting for? The tech-world is at Disrupt; where are you?
