Kinvey

Kinvey (pronounced Kin-vey, like convey) is the first Backend as a Service that makes it ridiculously easy for developers to setup, use and maintain a cloud backend for their mobile apps.

Our service lets app developers spend 100% of their time on their mobile application. They don’t have to worry about connecting to various cloud services, setting up servers for their backend, or maintaining and scaling them.

With Kinvey, developers just model their cloud backend needs and we auto-generate all the APIs they would need to access their data from any mobile, web or computing platform. Developers then grab their APIs, put it in their app code, and they’re ready to go.

We call it Backend as a Service.

Kinvey was founded in 2010 and is based in Cambridge, MA
