I am a solo builder, not a developer, building small AI apps I plan to sell. I bought Tier 1 because every app idea I had kept dying at the same place: the backend. Databases, APIs, authentication, all the infrastructure I do not know how to build and do not want to spend weeks learning.

Setup was simple and the dashboard is clean and easy to understand, even for a non-technical user. The model makes sense: create a database and the APIs are generated for you, with authentication and row level security built in instead of bolted on. The MCP integration is what sold me most, since I build with AI coding tools and want them working directly with my backend.

I have not shipped my first app on it yet, so this is a review of the setup, the platform, and the concept, not of a live product at scale. The team is clearly active and shipping, they communicated an API migration clearly and ahead of time, which gave me confidence they maintain what they sell.

For a non-developer who wants to sell small apps without hiring a backend developer, this is the missing piece I was looking for. I will update this review once my first app is live on it.
