Key Concept
Project (Repository): A project signifies a project, where it hosts your tables, app (docker images and configurations), and other metadata.
Table: or as we refer to it - Database, is an all-in-oneOLTP DB + OLAP DB + Search Engine Database with a Spreadsheet-like Web Admin for data management and analysis. It also offers a low-latency API and supports Python and Javascript clients. Sometimes it can be used as a Content Management System
Application: A Serverless cloud service compiling and packaging code into Docker images for deployment. It auto-scales from 0 on trigger, supporting Http and Cronjob triggers.
Leapcell Stack
"App" can refer to various types of websites such as blogs, e-commerce platforms, portfolio pages, chatbots, forums, etc.
Leapcell Stack Overview:
Leapcell Database: Functioning as the CMS, it features a high-performance database, search engine, BI system, and a spreadsheet-like UI for efficient data management and analysis. It is accessible to various departments, including developers, project managers, marketing, operations, and data scientists.
Leapcell Application: Offering deployment and hosting services for apps, it streamlines DevOps tasks, enabling you to focus on your app development. Triggered by events like HTTP requests and cron jobs, it can seamlessly autoscale from 0 to 1000 in less than 10 seconds.
Compared to Jamstack, our preference lies in utilizing a database for dynamic content management and release, minimizing the reliance on frequent Git deployments. To achieve dynamic data management and release, databases such as AWS RDS, Planetscale, or Neon are typically employed. However, this approach often excludes the participation of other team members (PM/Marketing team/Operation team/Data Scientist) in content release and data management. They often rely on the development of an internally redesigned management platform (Admin Platform). This might be one reason why we've seen the proliferation of various Low Code platforms.
Leapcell ingeniously addresses this challenge through a sophisticated stack, promoting enhanced collaboration within the team. This approach allows projects to swiftly cater to user needs rather than dedicating time to developing various tools. Leapcell Table is a high-performance database with an interface similar to Airtable, integrating built-in BI systems and search engines for convenient use by various team members. Leapcell Application is an efficient platform for code deployment and service hosting, triggered by events and capable of handling extremely high QPS without the need for scaling up.
