I build things and enjoy understanding asymptotes of things I'm dealing with.

Postgres has advanced dramatically in last years and is mostly a default choice in our consulting projects. Take, for example native support for row-level security - https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/ddl-rowsecurity.html
However, we are going to support other databases like Mongo and MySQL.

yes, we forked and customized sharedb under the hood, more databases and out-of-the-box functions for collaboration are in progress.

Yes, I hope that realtime apps will be our future :)
Regarding integration - okdb provides hooks, so that you can implement custom authentication/verification, e.g. verify JWT token. For details, have a look at the docs here - https://okdb.io/p/docs/api/server#s5.1
Happy to answer any other questions

Hi HN, I'm the author of okdb - wrote it to make it easier to create collaborative apps.

Interesting, I've built a similar project that generates GraphQL API based on your database schema - https://okdb.io

Yes, I was thinking about libraries that may boost productivity and avoid writing something from scratch.
Managed solution is a good option, need to find a way to build trust at the beginning though.

Understood, thank you. Upmarket is an interesting area to focus on first, even it's not that scalable.

Interesting perspective, reminds me of a game theory. Thanks!

True, miss it also sometimes. It will not be as lightweight though - reminds me about SOAP/WSDL times.
GraphQL goes in this direction by enforcing type checks, but is designed for web frontends...
