Sorry if the title sounds a bit broad. Im building a mobile/web app with AngularJS. For background, the app is a simple service app with 2-3 pages and some interactivity with users with mainly text and some media, it functions much like how Instagram does. I started to look into the backend and wondered if theres any real time backend other than Firebase.
Specifically, I was exploring into a RDBMS like a MySQL for example. Reason being there's requirement for data-manipulation as well as future amendments to the data schema. Would that mean losing real-time capabilities and if real-time is overrated?
A couple of friends in programming recommended Meteor-JS for its real-time abilities but it seems like a heavy full stack MVC framework, including backend and with less support and open source stuff?
Would anyone have any opinions and views on this matter? Any experience to share app performance is very much appreciated.
