AppGyver Cloud Database, AppGyver Auth and AppGyver-managed file uploads will be discontinued on August 31st 2021

From the beginning, it has been an important principle that Composer-built apps should never depend on AppGyver cloud infrastructure by default, but should be truly standalone. This is why even our web apps are static bundles of HTML/JS/CSS, meaning they do not need a server component to run.

At the same time, most apps do require a backend for users, data and files to be meaningful. When we launched Composer Pro a year ago, we wanted to make sure it would not require knowledge on how to integrate a REST API to see how your app would function with a backend.

Thus, we made a few free backend services available for everyone to use, namely:

• AppGyver Cloud Database
• AppGyver Authentication
• AppGyver-managed file uploads via the Get bucket upload URLs and Get bucket download URLs flow functions

As has been mentioned in the Composer Pro UI, these have not been meant for production use, but rather to get a quick PoC together before moving on and integrating with a production-grade system.

For clarity’s sake, as of today, we’ve disabled the above features in new apps, and will be discontinuing them altogether by August 31st, 2021.

We will be providing alternate, integrated solutions for your backend needs, as well as instructions on how to migrate your existing data, so stay tuned.
