How does everybody feel about this compared to Firebase?
- sorenbs 9y agoHey - our frustration with existing solutions like Firebase was the primary reason we started Graphcool. We've written up a detailed breakdown of the main differences: https://www.graph.cool/docs/tutorials/graphql-vs-firebase-chi6oozus1/ https://www.graph.cool/docs/tutorials/graphql-vs-firebase-ch... I would love to hear from other developers who have used both GraphQL and Firebase to see if there is any way we can make GraphQL an even better choice.
- drumttocs8 9y agoNice. It would be cool to see a "kitchen sink" example project, similar to Firebase's Friendlypix, or something similar. Give people something to explore and hack on. I saw many good example projects, but nothing as full-featured. https://github.com/firebase/friendlypix https://github.com/firebase/friendlypix
- pier25 9y agoIMO the biggest problem with Firebase is data modelling and querying. No relationships, very basic filtering capabilities, etc. That should be a deal breaker for any serious project. I wrote this a couple of months back where I expand on that and other pain points: https://medium.freecodecamp.com/firebase-the-great-the-meh-and-the-ugly-a07252fbcf15 https://medium.freecodecamp.com/firebase-the-great-the-meh-a...
