Hi, I'm somewhat new to backend stuff, APIs, REST, etc so bear with me. 😅

My interests are backends in Rails, as well as other API tasks in Python/some API structure. For the front end, Rails for web-based apps & Django/etc. for data-science (Python-based) projects maybe.

I'm familar with Google Cloud, Compute, Heroku, & GitHub along with others (not AWS yet).

Questions please:
1. I see CodeSmash provides no-code API/app. features, but what if I prefer to code my own?

2. How is CodeSmash different from building custom applications on, say Heroku, my Cloudways web hosting account, or etc? (I'm not clear on this)

3. Can you compare plan #2 "Dedicate and secure APIs, Custom MSAs and SLAs" vs #1? I'm not clear.

Thank you! 😊
