Flatten your learning curve

Serverless is hard because it changes most of the things we know about building and architecting web applications. Webiny makes serverless easy by providing documentation, guides and tutorials. You have all the knowledge you need at your fingertip. Webiny will save you many hours of research and trial and error.

Organize your project

Organizing a project is often an underestimated task. However getting it wrong can be quite expensive. Webiny provides you with a project organization that grows with your need and it works great for both small and large projects.

GraphQL API layer you can expand

Expand the built-in GraphQL endpoint with custom resolvers or create your own GraphQL microservices. Webiny includes a security utilities so you can easily control who can access what. Your API, running on serverless infrastructure, can scale to meet any demand in a cost-effective way.

Powerful GraphQL query operations

The quality of results you get back from your API can be tightly coupled with what your database can do. For that reason Webiny uses Elasticsearch for any filter, sort and full-text search queries. Your API will have great performance with accurate results, not matter what you throw at it.

Secured out of the box

Security is a crucial layer in any application. Webiny includes a customizable security module you can use in your schemas. There is also a built-in UI to manage users, groups, roles and scopes.

Create and deploy projects with a single command

Use the Webiny CLI to bootstrap a project and deploy it to a serverless cloud within minutes. The CLI creates all the required resources like AWS Lambdas, S3, API Gateway, CDN and connects them together.

Use scaffolding templates to expand your project

You can read through several pages on how to create a new microservice, or you can just run the `webiny scaffold` command which will create one for you in seconds and hook it up with the rest of the system. Once created you can add your business logic to it and deploy it to your cloud.

Control your deploy process

Webiny CLI comes with hooks as integration points. You can use these hooks to further expand the deploy process, like adding CI/CD support and syncing state files. The CLI is also pluginable, so you can build new functionality to optimize your development and deployment process even further.

We've created a UI package for you so you don't need to bother with one

When we say that with Webiny you can focus on your business logic right away, we truly mean it. Webiny comes with a built-in Admin UI. It has over 30 reusable React components you can use to build interfaces for your application. Everything can be fully stylized to fit your brand identity.

Everything is a plugin

The built-in components are customizable through CSS and React. The admin theme is built as a set of plugins that you can extend and adapt. Even the simplest parts, like the Webiny logo in the header, are made as plugins you can change. This gives you full control over the look and feel.

Storybook is included

Each UI component is available in our storybook. You'll find the list of React props, implementation details and examples how to use the components.

Server(less) pre-rendering

Webiny features a built-in service for pre-rendering content for SEO and performance purposes. Our Page Builder app uses it, but so can your custom apps as well. Pre-rendered pages can be stored to S3 and cached on CloudFront for fast and scalable content delivery.
