Any opinions how this project compares to Supabase (https://github.com/supabase/supabase) in terms of audience / features, maturity and overall usefulness and performance of both?


The eventing part doesn’t seem comparable at all to Firebase: https://docs.spaceuptech.com/microservices/eventing/

It merely supports triggers versus the synchronization primitives of Firebase.


It‘s nice that a self-hosting PaaS is built again, i have the hope that one in the end will really get traction and is not dead a few month after it has been announced.

But what i really would like to see would be a self-hosted postgresql as a service. All these solutions need to reinvent this again and again. If there would be one solution with a good backup concept (!) like wal-g integrated all these new PaaS could skip the DBaaS step and just concentrate on the code as a service part. Their feature set would be a lot smaller which may lead to these projects living longer.

Tldr: We need a self-hostable PostgreSql as a Service all these PaaS could depend on.


I self host Postgres all the time. I just install it on my server. Sometimes i use RDS if a feel fancy.


How do you want the responsibilities to be split between you the self-hoster and the software vendor?


Someone reset the counter. Just kidding. This looks pretty great!


I'm a bit out of the loop, but which counter?


"Days since someone announced a new self-hosted hosting on complicated hosting" :)


Impressive, home page link

thanks!

Does anyone find the flutter app samples?

On the linked website above (https://spaceuptech.com/) they say that they have app sample apps for ... and Flutter.

I can't find any on their github repo. Does anyone have better eyes than me?


The homepage no longer longer contains the word Flutter.

Their github account has zero repo's with Dart or Flutter.

If you saw it then I guess they changed it and will show Flutter demo's in the future?

Flutter is definitely a solid and viable front-end.

While you've still got the spotlight... show us what you've got SpaceUpTech!


Which are the biggest app using firebase ? I guess firebase is gaining traction, does google reports it’s revenue ?


Looks like the architecture link in the GitHub is broken. May want to look into that.


Noob question: does this supports offline syncing like firestore?


Excellent name.


To me the whole point of PaaS is not needing to know which components are powering my app. So I don’t get what this is about.


Seems quite similar to Hasura. Looks neat.
