Ask HN: What are the top BaaS (Back end as a Service) platforms in 2023
Hi! I am spinning up a side project and am looking into some backend as a service solutions. As a backend dev in a larger organization I have always just build stuff using AWS and rolled our own, but now I want to iterate quickly and have some stuff built in at first.
The backend engineer in me is a little wary of using these and it seems like it will be hard to get off these platforms later. Firebase looks cool, but I worry about using a NoSQL database in 2023. The AWS Amplify solution is tempting, but knowing AWS it will be clunky and require more time to administrate.
Does anyone have any suggestions or experience in using a BAAS? Thanks.
edit: I also have seen some hype on using Supabase which uses postgres, and a new firebase competitor named Convex which seems very new.
