# urBackend Documentation

> Bring your own MongoDB. Get a production-ready backend in 60 seconds.

urBackend is a Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) that gives your frontend instant, secure REST APIs backed by your own MongoDB database. Skip the boilerplate — connect your database, define your collections, and start reading and writing data immediately.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a project">
    Sign up at the [urBackend Dashboard](https://urbackend.bitbros.in) and create a new project. You'll receive a publishable key (`pk_live_...`) and a secret key (`sk_live_...`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Define your collections">
    In the **Database** tab, create collections and optionally define schemas with field types and validation rules.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Call the API">
    Use your API key in the `x-api-key` header to read and write data instantly. No server setup required.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add auth (optional)">
    Enable built-in user authentication and Row-Level Security so your frontend users can safely manage their own data.
  </Step>
</Steps>
