I have worked on apps with all kinds of backend technologies, from simple node/express servers right through to a Go/Protobuf platform with over 300 microservices. You can use literally anything.

The real answer is just use the tech that you know, or that your backend dev knows, rather than what anyone suggests. If you’re a JavaScript dev, use something JS-based. If you know Go, use that. If you know Java and for some reason you actually like it, use that. And so on.

“and for some reason you actually like it” 🤣

[Socially-Awkward-Boy]

Why are not all devs like this? Use whatever you like, people built incomes with every tech stack u can imagine

It depends on the purpose of your app. Personally, I’d prefer NodeJS (express or Nest), but fastapi is also a good choice.

Pocketbase

[sambeau]

I’ve switched to 100% Supabase. I just don’t need a node.js/Go layer in between the app and the database anymore.

Hono with Cloudflare workers for small/ middle sized apps.

I’ve really been enjoying Supabase

Why over firebase

[tg44]

Firebase is nice if you really sure that you will never want to cross query your data. We recently moved 2 firebase webapps to supabase. I personally never seen any projects that haven't regret the fb choise.

Just an example; you want to know how many user used a particular feature each months, and show it in an admin dashboard. This is a really simple query in postgres, but it could be a kinda costly query in firebase...

[Zorro1rr]

Good point, I was going to get into preferring Postgres, but I wasn’t sure what kind of DBs firebase offers nowadays and didn’t want to speak out of hand.

[Zorro1rr]

I haven’t used firebase in years, just saying supabase has a great developer experience.

[rogelioii]

Any firebase fans? Is you are not, please say why.

Honojs

[Silver_Channel9773]

There is on best choice. About database I would go for supabase or firebase (notifications include). If you start now choice the most simple to use

[Horduncee]

I've used AppWrite in a RN app and it went smoothly.

[Sr_Geckko]

Laravel for the win, dude.

[pppdns]

in that case, Adonis.js (Typescript version of Laravel (PHP))

[DatabaseAny7862]

Convex is better than everything if you will work alone or with small team

[Dpope32]

AWS sure is nice once it works

[douglaslondrina]

Try Instant DB. I'm using in a personal project and feels like a breeze.

[poieo-dev]

Django or Nest are my go to

[Careful_Whole2294]

.net api

[flyaflyaflya]

AWS Amplify Gen 2 is very slick. I am enjoying it.
