All handled. One URL.
Managing it all
80% of backends are CRUD + auth.
That's a lot of infra you're maintaining for nothing.
Your backend, live in your browser.
No signup required. Just hit Send.
Predictable API responses for your test suite - Playwright, Cypress, or Postman.

That's a real backend. Yours is 30 seconds away.
Database, API, and auth - from a URL. No code. No deploy.
Using ReqRes is way faster - you don't have to deploy, create schemas, or check versions. ReqRes already handles that for you.
