    AppWrite not having push notifications is kind of a deal breaker for me. They have not given a timeline for when they will be coming up with that feature as it's probably the only important feature that Firebase has but AppWrite lacks. I do know we can still use firebase only for push notifications but then we can just use firebase for everything may be? Let me know what you guys think

    I am really glad that I started from barebone of everything like dbs and vps to deploy own dbs. It makes things much more optimized to what I need and super cheap as well. Best part is you can store your db data offline so no locking of any company and no backup fees as well.

      @@maitreyeesawant5939 well there are solutions such as pocketbase or supabase which allow you to host your baas and you have total control to that backend + the responsibility to manage it with the data. But other than that, you can’t fully trust a third party on baas, even for firebase cuz you don’t really know when they’ll shut down your project or use the data in there for their benefits. With that said, at the end of the day it’s just you picking the right tool base on the resources you have to build your project, no?

      Small team of developers don’t really have the resources to build infrastructures. They have other things to prioritize. The most common examples are indie games. For more details you can search a youtuber name Theo, Twitch’s CEO, and find a video where he explain about when a business move away from baas and when they don’t.

You can fully offload, auth, devops (by using a paas) and other things but not the backend stuff. But using this will bring heavy tech overheads and migration will cost a fortune if I'm not wrong.

    Firebase power is its realtime feature... it has realtime and push notification (for when you are off app). appwrite realtime is nice but if you have intermitten connection or you need to push notification when you are outside the app, then you are out of luck with appwrite. If you do not need realtime then yea appwrite is totally great great great for small-medium projects 1000%. It could be fine for large project as well but I'm not sure if i have enough reference to claim that. Because the underlying techn is old school mariadb so not sure about performance there.

      - If you've already released it using Firebase, I think the time and effort to migrate to Appwrite would cost you more
      - Firebase is still not a bad option. I've once heard that if your project is small, you would pay less than a dollar to Firebase, and if your project is big, you would find a way to monetize from it, which would cover the relatively expensive Firebase price

      We have calculated, our limit is that if the system has 15,000-22,000 active users daily.
      Beyond that, monthly cost of Firebase would be more than our current budget could support unless we get additional investment.
      We have no idea what that would mean in terms of registered users.
      We know that most chat apps, registered user base is much bigger than active users.
      Meanwhile, if we have more than 250,000 registered users, it may not be that hard to get external investors.

    Do we really need to find alternative to firebase ? Because firebase is not only Backend as a service but it is more than it. It offers Cloud Messaging, Analytics, In-App Messaging, App Crashes Report and much more when app releases takes in play store. These thing are more important when you have a android app used by one user or thousands users or million users.
    Is appwrite really ready to counter firebase in these areas ?

      Not really, its a great product. Why SCAM is used so lightly these days

      not telling me about all of their product's quirks that they know for sure, which I'm susceptible to becoming a victim of in the future is almost the same as scamming.
      I know that this is like the ABCD's of marketing and business and all. but still it's no way near a good thing imo.

      @@jukkap.5722 I think you are wrong. you can't just break free from firebase. that is why it's called vendor lock-in.
      even the client is not open source. can you imagine.
      and If I'm not mistaken you are totally missing the point.

    I understand that you really like Appwrite, but the information that's presented isn't accurate in some cases.
    You stated that you have to pay a minimum if you use the "Pay as you go / Blaze Plan", but that isn't true. There is a free quota, as you stated, and then if you exceed that then you pay. And if someone just needs functions, firestore, and authentication, then just set those up and not the others. There seems to be some confusion here.
    When you talked about the initial connection to the database, you didn't compare apples to apples. You stated, "this is all you have to do." and then highlighted an npm command, which is definitely not all you have to do. Appwrite breaks each part down into one or two lines, in some cases, and Firebase doesn't. Also the "Init your SDK" for Appwrite just shows connecting to a project. The Firebase version you compared it to is connecting to a collection, getting the documents in that collection, and then returning a list of those documents, which were cities.
    One annoying thing for Appwrite, that led me to not use it, was that you can't store objects/maps natively (github.com/appwrite/appwrite/issues/2735). You can store a string written as a json object but that isn't type-safe and nesting can be a pain.
    I really hope Appwrite takes off even more. I love the look of their website and the UI you get for the backend.
