All the Bits Fit to Print
Build and scale backends using natural language specifications
A new no-code backend platform called Specific lets users build, run, and scale mission-critical backends by describing systems in natural language, automating infrastructure setup and testing.
Why it matters: It promises rapid backend development without coding, enabling faster iteration and focus on business logic.
The big picture: Specific automatically manages infrastructure and tests, aiming to evolve systems seamlessly as products grow.
The stakes: Concerns exist around maintainability, debugging, and trust since generated code is hidden and may vary on each build.
Commenters say: Users appreciate the automation but question transparency, long-term code stability, pricing, and how it compares to established tools like Supabase.
