PostgreSQL comes to Firebase
- matlin 2y agoIt's unclear if this has any of Firebase's signature real-time capabilities. Certainly, Supabase is living proof that there's major demand for the ergonomics of Firebase with the established SQL ecosystem; however, there still seems to be a gap of a real-time, syncing, relational data store. That's what we are still hard at work creating at Triplit[1] while others are making strides to add this functionality to Postgres directly[2].

- samspenc 2y agoPerfect reply from Supabase on Firebase's announcement: https://twitter.com/supabase/status/1790503399521230992 https://twitter.com/supabase/status/1790503399521230992 "does that make firebase a supabase alternative now??"
- purple-leafy 2y agoThat is huge news for the platform. Wow Firebase has had loads of announcements today seemingly. As someone building primarily on Firebase in my spare time this is awesome. I use it as the backend and storage for my supercharged chrome extensions. I think Firestore is okay for simple use cases such as payments and auth, but you definitely need SQL for heavy business logic
- rhodysurf 2y agoI need to know pricing for this because cloudsql is not cheap
