I am a bit confused. How is Strapi (a headless CMS) comparable to Firebase/Supabase/Appwrite ? Aren't they apples and oranges ?

- aaaaaaaaata 4y agoDepends what kind of app you're building, really.
- christyjacob4 4y agoyeap exactly... CMS's are meant for a different audience altogether
- resoluteteeth 4y agoAll these platforms expose a kind of data repository with multiple users that is designed to be used as an app backend. The permissions in a "headless CMS" will by default be designed under the assumption that people will be writing articles that will all be shared between/accessible to all users whereas Firebase/Supabase/Appwrite will assume that each user has their own private data, but a lot of the details are in how you configure them for your use case and perhaps they aren't really that different when you think about it.
- manigandham 4y agoFundamentally they're all relational db + data management UI + (automatic) API endpoints.
