How to implement backend flows in Peaka

This article provides an overview of backend flows in Peaka, explaining their role and how you can create APIs for your projects.

What Are Backend Flows?

Backend flows in Peaka serve as a means to create APIs that allow you to access and interact with data and perform actions from external projects or applications.

For example, if you have a Peaka table and need to filter it or execute various actions using flow nodes, you can generate an API through a backend flow. This API enables you to use the processed data in your other projects seamlessly.
