About Catalyst

Catalyst by Zoho is a cloud-native serverless application that empowers software developers to build highly scalable custom applications in a matter of hours instead of months.

Catalyst takes care of everything, from server provisioning to managing and monitoring, so that businesses can build next-generation applications for their users and customers faster. Even better, Catalyst drastically lowers infrastructure and maintenance costs and businesses do not have to worry about managing servers or other operational complexities.

From WebClient hosting on the frontend to caching, database management, and multimedia management, Catalyst acts as a complete serverless suite for application development. With complete customization potential, Catalyst is a game-changer for the pro-code community.

These have been made very simple for accessing in the catalyst platform

Catalyst is Awesome

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

I like catalyst to create CRUD function. I created a Zoho creator Proxy server using catalyst. Using catalyst node.js function, I created an auth token and saved in catalyst data store. And then RUN a CRON to update the auth token every 60 Mins. Also, the data from zoho creator is being saved and updated in catalyst and is also being served from catalyst. Created functions in catalyst using node.js to Create,Read,Update And Delete in Zoho creator. It is very nice and easy to use.

Cons:

My recommendation is to create a public url to access the file from file store.At the moment, there is no option to get a public URL to show an image or video file. This is one much needed functionality.
