Yea Nhost is a Backend as a Service (BaaS) but I'm not sure Firebase has "won".
Whant we hear form our users is that they like Nhost because of:
- Open Source
- SQL (Postgres)
- GraphQL (Hasura)
- GitHub Integratoin (like Vercel & Netlify)
> for tech people it's just as easy to spin up an instance in some cloud somewhere.
I think this is the biggest missconseption.
Just look at Vercel and Netlify. They host html/css/js as a core business and they have million of users combined. Why? Because they make it extreamly easy for developers to be *productive* and they hook into developers' workflow with Git.
Most of our users at Nhost can spin up servers and infrastructure on their own, but are they using their time optimally by doing so? Or should they instead spend time building what's important for their business and users?

As a standalone product it was complete, easy to grok, and simple to secure. Now I feel like I literally need to hire a CISSP to make sure my whole company wont be hosed by a single security rule misconfiguration buried somewhere in GCP.
