I'm always excited by tools like this. How do you feel about Bubble and how it compares? One thing that put me off Bubble was reports of it not scaling very well past a certain point (slow) - unsure why. Is this something you have heard/considered? I see debug mode, but if performance issues were to occur, could one x-ray the generated code or PSQL DB to rectify? One bonus question, what can't it do right now that a Django or Rails API can? :)

Bubble is a solid platform, but we definitely saw lots of opportunities for enhancements. We’ve talked to lots of users of low-code tools before starting to build and lack of performance was a common complaint which is why we designed Fastgen with a strong focus on performance, UX and scalability. As for the debug mode, while it doesn’t yet show execution times for different steps, that’s an excellent suggestion - we’ll explore! Addressing the bonus question: we don’t currently support custom code/scripts, but rest assured, it’s on our roadmap as part of our commitment to having as minimal restrictions as possible :-)
