Hi @owen.campbell,
I’m not owning any Alphabet stock, thus I’m not gonna try to sell their product here.
Firebase, is a BaaS and this plugin is mainly focused on Firestore the NoSQL Database.
But, try to write an application in pure anvil that is:
- live synced
- Is so fast that you are spinner free
- scales to a hundred million requests per day with ease
- Automatic Sharding
- works offline/online with automatic syncing
- stores images on a global CDN
- Working across plattforms
(what if you build a native Android app in addition to your anvil app? Rest Endpoints & custom JWT Auth
)
Saying that as a true anvil-believer, at least for now this can hardly be achieved in pure anvil.
Of course those requirements do not apply for most personal cases, but for someone building a scalable SaaS buisness this should be on your mind when choosing your database.
thanks for pointing that out by the way!
Mark
