Wow, I thought I created this thread in my sleep. This is exactly what we do at Nhost (https://nhost.io) too.
I usually explains Nhost as Google Firebase, but:
- SQL (PostgreSQL)
- GraphQL (Hasura)
- 100% open source
After being both delighted and frustrated about Firebase I decided that something must be done. The developer experience on Firebase is awesome but the tech and the lock-in effect is super bad.
This was the stack I wanted:
- Hosted service
- SQL database
- GraphQL API
- Subscription (real time)
- Authentication fully integrated with users in the database
- Storage also fully integrated with S3 support.
- 100% open source.
And that's exactly what Nhost provides.
Seeing other services like Superbase, 8base, Firebase (maybe we should change name to Nbase) is super cool. I think we all can help developers at all stages to build better apps faster. Very exciting! Good luck all!
I've played around with Hasura and HBP for a side-project and have to say I'm really happy with the developer experience so far. Great work and thanks for making it open source as well!
