# LoopBack LoopBack, part of the StrongLoop Suite, is a mobile backend framework that can run in the cloud or on your own servers. It is built on [StrongNode](http://www.strongloop.com/strongnode) and open-source Node.js modules, so it is highly extensible and familiar to developers already using Node. For more information on the advantages of using LoopBack, see [StrongLoop / LoopBack](http://strongloop.com/strongloop-suite/loopback/). ---
