Long-form posts about Para, Scoold, and the infrastructure that powers them.
If you're building AI-powered applications or just want to work more efficiently with your Para backend, the MCP server opens up entirely new possibilities.
Major updates to Para and Scoold: redesigned websites, new Helm charts with customizable secrets, GraalVM native image support for faster startups, IPv6 connectivity on ParaIO.com and Scoold Cloud, plus the official n8n integration for workflow automation.
Para now supports handling HTML form submissions directly, including email notifications, CAPTCHA verification, and optional message storage - all without writing a single line of backend code.
Let's build a new version of our simple search box which uses our Para backend for indexing documents. The content is first ingested and processed by Para, then we use clientside code to query the data.
Scoold Pro now integrates with Microsoft Teams and is rolling out to licensed users and Scoold Cloud instances. It's the third official chat integration after Slack and Mattermost.
Para's hosted BaaS has grown to hundreds of active apps and paying customers worldwide. To reduce latency from a single EU region, we set out to make the service global.
