Why we created a
                         Backend as a Service
                  • We are a Team of Backend-Devs,
                         Frontend-Devs and ProjectManagers
                  • We have developed several apps
                  • Backend has always been „pain in the
                         ass“ that no one is willing to pay

                  • so we decided to make things easier

                              ...I will be locked in his system
                         No. You own the data. You can export it.

                               ...I won‘t be flexible enough
                         No. You can inject custom backend logic.

                         ... I cannot connect to my existing data
                         No. You can import/connect your data.

                ... my Data will be somewhere on the world
               No. apiOmat is completely hosted in Germany.

                  • if we would have used a generic sdk
                         we would have implemented 30 data
                         models 4 times

                  • we edited the data models on the
                         website --> 120 classes in the sdks
                         were generated automatically
