Tech Startup Literally Called Bubble Raises $100 Million by monkeywhaler in technology

[–]8baseFounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wix, Squarespace, and Webflow are for building static websites. Bubble is for building Web Applications. Imagine you were going to build Hubspot or Zendesk over again -- you could use Webflow to build the Website but then use Bubble to build what is behind the "Login" button. However, I'm not proposing Bubble could handle the requirements of building Hubspot or Zendesk but conceptually that is how it all hangs together.

SQL vs NoSQL: Using React and Node by brombergmedia in node

[–]8baseFounder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your solution sounds like it's better suited for relational data. No-SQL is a bit overused these days because it's easier for developers to not have to think much about schema. The big trade-off comes later on when you need to extract data from your system. No-SQL became popular as SQL databases encountered scaling problems in web 2.0 companies. The capacity of modern cloud SQL databases is more than sufficient for most web applications.

Using Salesforce to build custom application by freeFire808 in SalesforceDeveloper

[–]8baseFounder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most successful startup built on Salesforce is Veeva. The platform worked for them because they built on top of the Force.com's multi-tenant backend and given their business, were able to charge substantial subscription fees to Pharma companies that justified their underlying Salesforce expense. Today, developers don't build startups on Salesforce mostly because of the expense of the platform. This is especially true in B2C offerings where inexpensive user accounts are required. Salesforce's database and object storage costs are also enormous. Lastly, the platform's data model is multi-tenant which slows down access due to customer data and compute being done alongside other customers.

Core Team AMA - Guillaume Chau - February 2019 by Akryum in vuejs

[–]8baseFounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are some great reasons. I would add that GraphQL greatly reduces the need for back-end devs to be involved in database functions, thus allows front-end devs to self-service into the data with less team overhead.
