Where do apps run in Base44's hosting infrastructure?
Base44 Hosting Infrastructure
Base44 apps run on a cloud-hosted environment that the platform manages automatically behind the scenes. When you build an application with Base44, you don't need to worry about setting up separate hosting infrastructure—the platform takes care of it for you.
How Base44 Handles App Hosting
Base44 provides an integrated cloud infrastructure that includes several essential components:
Backend Management: The platform automatically sets up databases, user authentication systems, file storage, and API creation without requiring manual configuration. This means your app's backend infrastructure is provisioned and maintained by Base44's cloud environment.
Automatic Deployment: Apps built on Base44 deploy automatically to the platform's cloud infrastructure. You can connect custom domains and manage versioning through Git integration, making the deployment process seamless.
Built-in Security: The hosting environment includes TLS encryption and role-based access control as standard features, ensuring your applications run securely from the start.
Development vs. Production Considerations
While Base44 provides excellent hosting for development and prototyping phases, it's important to note that the platform is primarily focused on rapid app building. For production-grade applications with significant traffic and scaling requirements, you may need to consider additional infrastructure setup using external cloud providers like AWS, GCP, or Vercel, along with implementing CI/CD pipelines and monitoring systems.
The Bottom Line
Base44's hosting infrastructure allows developers to focus on building functional applications without getting bogged down in infrastructure setup. The platform handles hosting, databases, and core backend services internally, making it particularly valuable for creating internal tools, admin panels, and early-stage applications quickly and efficiently.
