Firesearch VS Catalyst by Zoho

Catalyst is a full-stack cloud-based serverless development tool that provides backend functionalities to build microservices and applications in various platforms. Catalyst adapts a BaaS (Backend as a Service) model and provides pre-written, universal, server-side components from a unified interface as programmable elements. Catalyst allows developers to focus more on designing the user experience of the serverless applications, instead of investing time and effort into setting up and maintaining the server-side components. You can deploy applications and microservices at scale, while we take care of everything else—drastically reducing your development cycle and operational costs.

What can you build with Catalyst?
Catalyst provides three major components: - Backend as a Service - Function as a Service - WebClient Hosting - AL/ML Solutions - Chatbots - Headless Browsers

These pre-built services coupled with other Catalyst tools like, push notifications and emails, authentication, Advanced AI solutions and more provide a complete serverless suite for app development.

By leveraging these pre-built services you can build several microservices and reduce the time to launch. Here are some common use cases:

• Build fully customized web and mobile applications
• Build REST APIs that can serve as the integration for various applications, on both web and mobile
• Build data processing pipelines that run in the background as a microservice for things like data migration and data analysis
