An agent-native backend is one an AI coding agent can acquire, provision, and operate end to end. The definition, four architectural tests, and honest limits.
Mobile backend as a service (MBaaS), explained: what it includes, the Parse-to-Firebase history, and a fair look at Firebase, Supabase, Back4App, and Amba.
A ten-point, vendor-neutral rubric for how AI coding agents evaluate backends — signup friction, tool coverage, machine-readable pricing, deterministic errors, idempotency, isolation, and more — with the tests any backend can pass.
Looking for capability depth instead? The feature guides explain the primitives precisely, the comparison corpus puts Amba head-to-head with 20 vendors — including where they win — and the platform guides cover the SDK per platform.
