• Ask HN: How Can I Make My Front End React to Database Changes in Real-Time?

  I'm interested in this problem also! I think there is a large overlap with projects that market/focus on offline-first experiences. AFAIK this problem can be solved by: 1) Considering a client-side copy of the database that gets synced with the remote DB. This is an approach [PowerSync](https://www.powersync.com/) and [ElectricSql](https://electric-sql.com/) and [rxdb](https://rxdb.info/) take! - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• You can't leak users' data if you don't hold it

  Hey, after I posted that, I went and gave a second look online to see if I could find something that would allow me to develop a local-first app with offline persistence and syncing capabilities. I ended up finding some possibilities out there that could potentially help me build stuff. One of them is RxDB [1], which offers WebRTC syncing - you'd still need a signaling server, I suppose, but all sensitive... - Source: Hacker News / 25 days ago

• SignalDB: Bringing Meteor-Like Reactivity to the Modern Age

  About a year ago, I discovered a cool offline-first framework called RxDB. Initially, I thought that on the frontend side, this was exactly what I had been searching for over the past years. After tinkering around and even using it in production for some time, I realized that it wasn't well-suited for my intended use. RxDB was initially created as an RxJS layer for PouchDB with a server replication interface.... - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Show HN: ElectricSQL, Postgres to SQLite active-active sync for local-first apps

  Congrats to the team. Once I’ve tried https://rxdb.info/ and it wasn’t funny at all to do the remote replication (PG) and to deal with conflicts. I do need to check this out! - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• What did I do to deserve a JavaScript database?

  For anyone who wants to not only make jokes but actuall learn something, I recommend to start with exploring the github repo: https://github.com/pubkey/rxdb. Source: over 1 year ago

• 5 Best Instant Messaging APIs

  Firebase is an app development platform backed by Google that famously replaces the need for a backend. It accomplishes this by providing developers with a variety of services, including authentication, push notifications, and a database called Cloud Firestore that can be adapted to store and broadcast chat messages in realtime. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• How do you handle different user roles?

  Within the Firebase system, I use Firestore. To minimize queries of multiple collections ( keep server costs down ) I keep users in one collection. Within each user object I have a "roles" property that is a sub-object referencing the different roles available:. Source: 5 months ago

• How to Choose the Right Document-Oriented NoSQL Database for Your Application

  NoSQL is a term that we have become very familiar with in recent times and it is used to describe a set of databases that don't make use of SQL when writing & composing queries. There are loads of different types of NoSQL databases ranging from key-value databases like the Reddis to document-oriented databases like MongoDB and Firestore to graph databases like Neo4J to multi-paradigm databases like FaunaDB and... - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• No more Supabase love? Likely switching to Firebase.

  Oh, I don't think this is what you're looking for. It's NoSQL versus Supabase's PostgreSQL implementation. {sigh}. Source: 10 months ago

• I just realized how expensive Firebase is for Social Media Apps

  I tried to make a reddit like app. I used both realtime-database and firestore as database. The billing of the two is different from each other. I used realtime-database for frequently updated data (like or upvote, downvote count for ex.) and firestore for more stable and large data (post, comment, community and user data..). While doing this, I only used database rules, I did not use Cloud functions. So, I... Source: 10 months ago
