About Velo
----------

[](#about-velo)

Velo is a Laravel-based backend utilizing MySQL as the primary database and EAV (Entity-Attribute-Value) schema for dynamic collections.

The goal of this project is to make a Backend-as-a-service platform that is cheap to deploy whilst maintaining key features of a Backend-as-a-service platform. This project is heavily inspired by [PocketBase](https://pocketbase.io) and its open-source nature.
