Building a mobile app (React Native) and need to pick a backend. Initially thought Firebase would be easy but hearing Supabase is better now?
What I need:
- Auth (obviously)
- Real-time for chat feature
- Some file storage
- Don’t wanna spend a fortune
PocketBase looks interesting too but not sure if it’s ready for production?
Thanks for any advice! 🙏
Supabase all the way! 🔥
Build my SaaS on Supabase and couldn’t be happier:
Supabase – It’s basically an open-source Firebase that gives you a real PostgreSQL database. The row-level security is amazing. Free tier is generous too.
Firebase – Google’s ecosystem is solid but NoSQL is a pain. Querying nested data sucks.
PocketBase – Cool for prototypes but not ready for serious production IMO.
Go Supabase. You won’t regret it. 🚀
