Midtype

Midtype is a hosted backend for developers who want to launch web apps quickly without building common infrastructure. Its stored profile describes a service that handles the plumbing so teams can concentrate on their own product. Its listed website now points to unrelated content, so the description comes from earlier material.

• Managed database: an optimised database behind the API, with no hosting to manage.
• Integrations: connections for payments and marketing, plus syncing users and plans with CRM tools.
