Q: Thanks for your previous explanation. I have a few follow-up questions?
1. Does each authenticated request perform only a lightweight Session ID lookup, or does it load the full user record from the database?
2. Is session validation done directly against the database every time, or do you use an in-memory cache (e.g., Redis) or another caching mechanism?
3. If 500 authenticated requests arrive simultaneously, does that mean 500 session validation database lookups...

Q: I have one architecture-related question about authentication?
When an authenticated request reaches the NCB API, does NoCodeBackend verify the JWT and execute the Pre Hook before performing any database lookup?
In other words, if the Pre Hook doesn't use the DB Query block, can authentication and authorization be completed using only the verified JWT claims without reading the database, or does NoCodeBackend always perform a database lookup for authenticated requests?

A: Hi there, Great question!
To answer directly: NoCodeBackend always performs a database lookup for authenticated requests before any Pre Hooks are executed.
Here’s a high-level overview of the request flow:
Authentication First: When an authenticated request arrives, we don't rely solely on stateless JWT claims. Instead, our authentication layer checks your database to ensure the session is...
1. Does NoCodeBackend have built-in authentication? * Sign up * Log in * Forgot password * OAuth 2. Can it store files? * PDF resumes * Word documents 3. Can you use vector search or embeddings? This is useful if you want to make AI matching smarter. 4. Can you run your own code? For example, an AI function that analyzes a resume and calculates a match score? 5....

A: 1. Does NoCodeBackend have built-in authentication? Yes. It includes: Sign up Log in Forgot password OAuth (Google, passwordless, etc.) Role-based access control (RBAC) and Row Level Security (RLS)
2. Can it store files? No. File storage isn't built in. You can use external storage (e.g. S3, Cloudflare R2) and store the file URLs in NoCodeBackend.
Very helpful - I need AI matching and storage and NoCodeBackend does not offer this - I would love to use one platform and not different, that’s too confusing for me.
Do "user invites" refer to my team accessing the dashboard, or to end-users of the app I build? Are "Smart AI calls" consumed by my running application, or only by NCB's own build-assist tools?

A: Hello,
'User Invites' refers to your own invited users/members to your nocodebackend dashboard. "Smart AI calls" ae only used by NCB's own built-in tools like AI database setup and database modifications using AI.

Q: Upgrading the tier
Hello,
I had acquired tier 1 in an earlier deal; my question is if I buy tier 2 now, can I upgrade to tier 3?
Thanks!
