The minimal size of a full `bknd` app as an API is around 212 kB gzipped (e.g. deployed as Cloudflare Worker). + ## Motivation Creating digital products always requires developing both the backend (the logic) and the frontend (the appearance). Building a backend from scratch demands deep knowledge in areas such as authentication and database management. Using a backend framework can speed up initial development, but it still requires ongoing effort to work within its constraints (e.g., *"how to do X with Y?"*), which can quickly slow you down. Choosing a backend system is a tough decision, as you might not be aware of its limitations until you encounter them.
