TESTIMONIALS

What are people saying about 8base?

chief of product development at cobuild lab

Angel Lacret

Chief of Product Development @ Cobuild Lab

“8base cuts in half all the things that you need to do to create a well-designed application.”

front-end developer and ux/ui designer for ibm

Eva Hankova

Front-end Developer, UI/UX Designer @ IBM

"8base's GraphQL API is amazing! It gives me everything I need to quickly build front-end apps with robust filters, sorting and pagination for my data with zero backend work."

chief technology officer for evidencecare

Ryan Macy

chief technology officer @ EvidenceCare

"GraphQL is a really amazing solution for a very serious problem, which is making APIs as usable as a UIs. That’s pretty much a requirement today for creating a great developer experience.”

Christian Nwamba

Senior Developer Advocate @ Microsoft

“8base is a life-changing tool for developers. It's like Firebase but with GraphQL, relational data, flexibility and extensibility. I absolutely love it!”

Sky Winston

Front-End Developer @ W+R Studios

“Speaking on behalf of front-end developers, what we don’t have is a way to easily get a back-end up and running. That’s why I’m so excited about 8base. It’s where I can go to do just that."

Sam Woolerton

Analyst @ IT Partners Limited

" I detest DevOps, database migrations, and that sort of stuff. And literally, 8base handles all of that. So, it’s perfect for me. "

Abdul Karmach,

CO-Founder @ AscendWare.net

"We founded the company doing low code but hopped around different platforms because they all had critical limitations and dead ends. We needed low-code, but also complete flexibility — and that’s precisely what 8base provides. It allows us to build any application while dramatically reducing the expense and labor. "

Mihir Shah

Co-Founder @ ITWOX

"The feedback has been that it's very easy for the new devs to understand the core concept of 8base. It takes about a day or two for them to really get up to speed."

Josh Clements

Managing Director @ Integris Group

"Usually, you expect to get 80% of what you want with low code; the other 20% is nearly impossible and you just burn a ton of time trying to accomplish it. We have not encountered that 20% at all since transitioning to 8base."
