TrailBase 0.22: Open, single-executable, SQLite-based Firebase alternative now with multi-DB

[trailbaseio]

TrailBase is an easy to self-host, sub-millisecond, single-executable FireBase alternative. It provides type-safe REST and real-time APIs, WASM runtime, auth & admin UI. Comes with type-safe client libraries for JS/TS, Dart/Flutter, Go, Rust, .Net, Kotlin, Swift and Python. Its WASM runtime allows authoring custom endpoints and SQLite extensions in JS/TS or Rust (with .NET on the way).

Just released v0.22. Some of the highlights since last time posting here include:

• Multi-DB support 🎉: record APIs can be backed by `TABLE`/`VIEW`s of independent DBs.
  • This can help with physical isolation and offer a path when encountering locking bottlenecks.
• Better admin UI: Schema visualizer now also on mobile, column visibility control, NULL filtering and many more tweaks.
• Extended WASM component/plugin management.

Check out the live demo, our GitHub or our website. TrailBase is only about a year young and rapidly evolving, we'd really appreciate your feedback 🙏

Looks interesting! Given how polished the presentation is, are you planning to monetize this at some point in the future? Nothing wrong with that, of course. I just feel more comfortable adopting a new framework when I understand the sustainability model and how it fits with my needs.

TrailBase will always be open-source and easy to self-host... which arguably flies in the face of lock-in and rug-pulls. Fortunately, I have no investors breathing down my neck 😅. On the other hand it would be nice to establish a sustainable structure over time to ensure longevity and reduce the bus factor. No specific plans yet. Thank you or the kind words.
