I really want Supabase to take off. For me, the #1 reason not to go with Firebase was lack of relational DB support, and #2 vendor lock-in.

- pier25 5y agoFor #1 you could check out Fauna. Much more powerful than Firebase regarding querying and data modeling. With Fauna you still get vendor lock-in though.
- jadbox 5y agoIf Fauna went open-source, I'd make the case to pay for their hosting. There's business value in just having the option to host it internally or make modifications.
- pier25 5y agoI agree. I love Fauna, and I'd definitely use their hosting even if they offered a self hosting option, but the closed source and vendor lock-in are really strong points.
- yawnxyz 5y agoi've moved from Fauna to Supabase... their FQL language was kind of confusing and poorly documented compared to Supabase
- kabes 5y agoFor 2 you could look at meteor, which does a similar thing with mongo. It's not relational, but with supabasr you also don't really get the advantages of a relational db, since the update events are about single tables.
