Back4app now meets one of the toughest U.S. healthcare standards—HIPAA—and this compliance is available exclusively on our Dedicated plan.
For builders, that means a backend legally cleared to store, process, and transmit Protected Health Information (PHI) without extra servers or bolt-on security layers.
Skip the compliance scramble and focus on delivering patient-centric features; we’ve completed the risk analyses, paperwork, and audits so you don’t have to.
Read More Back4app now carries two heavyweight endorsements—SOC 2 Type 1 and ISO 27001—and they are available on both Pay‑as‑you‑go and Dedicated plans.
For users, that means a backend that already satisfies trusted standards for reliability, data integrity, and operational excellence.
Skip the spreadsheet marathon of security questions and focus on shipping features your users love; we’ve handled the paperwork and the pen‑tests so you don’t have to.

Back4App has long focused on simplifying backend development through its Backend-as-a-Service platform. In 2023, we launched the Back4App Autonomous Agent, essentially “AutoGPT for developers,” which could transform natural language instructions into actual running backend tasks.
Now we’re taking the next step. We’re proud to announce the Back4App MCP Server, which opens our platform’s capabilities through an open standard – allowing AI agents that speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to interact with Back4App. Whether you use Cursor IDE, Windsurf, Claude(Desktop or Code), or other MCP-compatible assistants, they can now manage your Back4App resources directly.

From startups to enterprises, we have worked closely with each of our customers, gaining a deep understanding of their challenges and providing unique expert solutions to help them reach their goals.
The company evolved a lot. We’ve helped more than a thousand companies and more than 190,000 developers become more productive and quickly deliver apps.

Today we’re incredibly excited to reveal back4app’s new visual identity!

This new feature is available to each of your apps on back4app giving you information about your app health/performance, security, and general app logs.
How to access it? Go to the back4app main dashboard and click on the App Status button.
As Parse evolves over time, some aspects of it change for better performance, better compatibility and easier development.
One of these aspects is the GraphQL support that evolved from Parse 3.5.0 over time to the latest version available, 3.9.
Here at Back4app, we have three main versions that implement changes in the GraphQL queries and mutations, specifically: 3.7.2, 3.8 and 3.9 and today I will walk you through the differences among those versions, showing what did change and what did not.
After a lot of coffee and code, we are excited to announce the GraphQL support on Back4App!
Since version 3.5, Parse Server automatically provides a GraphQL API in addition to the REST API. Version 3.6 is already available as a beta at Back4App, and you can now enjoy a powerful, also instantly, generated GraphQL API, for your new or existing apps.
In the last few weeks, we launched an excellent, robust feature called Admin App for our users and also upgraded its capabilities to a great extent so as to amplify the productivity, competence, and readability of developers and even non-technical users at all levels. The best part? To enhance your experience with Back4App, we persistently worked to release some of our most requested functionalities, which make the admin tool even constructive and better than ever. This post is arranged to announce the succinct summaries of what has changed.
