I would have wished that Apple had been the ones acquiring Realm. They really had the best API for building apps with live collaboration I have ever experienced. Instead they went to MongoDB, so who knows how that will end?
- joshspankit 6y agoI always liked Realm but have not heard anything about them lately. Where did they go, and is the current work as powerful as the early stuff?
- jamil7 6y agoI’m not really a fan of MongoDB but the handling of Realm so far seems well done. I migrated an app to their new sync service and everything worked fine. They also offer a fairly generous free plan and are open sourcing the sync engine.
- dep_b 6y agoI tried to use it recently and it was an endless nightmare of suck. But perhaps I'm just allergic for any type of framework that tries to dictate my app structure and threading strategy.
- alexashka 6y agoRealm was a dead end - it was based on a custom database, which was a mistake. Them going to Mongo is actually the best possible outcome - by replacing their dead end custom database with MongoDB, they make MongoDB into a more compelling product, making document-based databases more batteries-included than ever before, which is excellent news.
