Why spend time building things that you can buy or rent?
For those who have never heard of the term “BaaS” before, it stands for “Backend as a Service” and refers to third-party API services that can be integrated into your applications to build out specific functionality quickly.

Sound like a pain? Well good news, there are plenty of services that you can drop-in to achieve this without writing a single line of server code.
