Show HN: We launched a low-code back end orchestration platform on AWS

Posted by orchestratoz 7/8/2025

Hi HN — I am the CTO of Rierino (https://rierino.com/platform/core), a low-code backend platform built for developers, not business users. We recently launched our Developer Lite version on AWS Marketplace, and we're offering a free private trial to HN users.

We built our low-code platform while working with scale-ups, out of frustration with how painful and expensive backend logic can be to implement and maintain in high-speed, distributed environments. It either meant hand-coding everything or relying on rigid tools that abstract away too much. We tested a range of LCNC platforms before deciding to build our own, because they either focused on front-end UIs with little support beyond CRUD, couldn’t meet our performance or scaling needs, or were SaaS-only.

What makes Rierino different:

- Not a UI builder, focused on complex, high-performance backend development

- Microservices architecture with full control over what each microservice can execute and access

- Low latency and high performance serving millions of customers with tens of thousands of internal users

- Flexible deployment: run on any public or private cloud, on-premises, and with your preferred configuration and APM stack

- Open architecture integrating with existing systems, including databases, cache, file systems, and IAM solutions

- Supports advanced patterns like event streaming, change data capture (CDC), complex event processing (CEP), and real-time ML scoring

- Built-in AI agent development capabilities with support for MCP, A2A, and WoT for advanced tooling and orchestration

What you can build with the Developer Lite version (in your own AWS environment):

- Create and Orchestrate APIs with branching logic and error handling

- Query, read & write on a database with our visual query builder

- Apply RBAC on individual API endpoints

- Integrate with 3rd party systems using REST, GraphQL, SOAP, and OData

- Extend flows with inline code when needed

Try it (for free – exclusive to HN community):

To activate your free trial, email us at hello+hn@rierino.com with your AWS account ID (no marketing or upsells — just access): https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-up2fcxku3k742

We’d love your feedback:

- What kinds of workflows do you think shouldn’t be built with low-code?

- Where do other tools fall short for backend or middleware use cases?

- What would you want to see in something like this?

We’ll hang around in the comments to answer questions and share examples. Thanks for reading!

Is this offer available for existing clients as well? We started using your AWS product last week and I came across this post today.

Sure, if you are on our AWS AMI product as a new client, we can help you move to the free trial offer.

If you have any development assets you'd like to keep, you can use the "Migration" menu on your "Devops Navigator" to copy them.

Please send an email to hello+hn@rierino.com sharing your AWS ID and contact details and our support team will guide you for switching to our AWS private offer.

Great, thank you, I sent my details now. One more question - can I use an existing MongoDB server from our infrastructure as the application database or does it have to be the one inside the AMI?

orchestratoz 7/10/2025||

Yes, as long as it is accessible from the Rierino EC2, you can use your existing MongoDB server.

You'll have to:

1) Export application databases from your current AMI and import into your MongoDB (you can use the loader service as an alternative, but this would be easier)

2) Update rierino.system.mongodb.*.uri entries in your admin_runner/globalconfig.properties file with your MongoDB details

3) Restart the admin_runner service

As a side note, you can also use other database systems like relational DB (also cache & search systems) with the platform. Please feel free to reach out to our team or visit https://docs.rierino.com/devops/microservices/elements/state... for more details.
