Your app runs on a scalable, serverless backend. It can handle millions of function calls per day, and run events at scheduled times.
Hercules backend logs

​
What can the backend do?

  • API routes: Handle requests from your frontend
  • Database access: Query and update your data
  • Scheduled functions: Run functions at a specific times
  • Cron jobs: Run functions on a recurring schedule
  • Public API: Expose endpoints that other apps can call to query your data

​
How do I view backend activity?

Open the Backend tab to see:
  • Function execution history (including logs and errors)
  • Scheduled jobs (pending and completed)
  • Recurring/cron jobs

​
How does it scale?

The backend is serverless meaning it can scale up and scale down as needed. This means it’s cheap and fast.
