Hi Everyone,
I hope I am able to find answers. I have built quite a few well-doing apps in Bubble.
Generally, all my apps were SaaS apps where I was charging enough for each organization that uses my app to cover Bubble expenses + other plugin costs if I use any.
My apps generally never crossed 300-400 active users, so performance was never an issue with Bubble. It works brilliantly up to 500 active users, and I have been able to generate a really good stream of income with Bubble ( will always be grateful to them ).
The issue, my latest idea would be an app that would have to scale well, in order to justify putting in the time in it. Bubble is not the place if you’re looking for long term scalability, I know that for a fact.
The thing is I work as a product manager for 2 years. I have a decent understanding of how infrastructure works, but have close to no practical experience in HTML/CSS/JS .
I know decent Python(mainly for Data Science / Analytics Stuff) , and basic MySQL(Enough to crunch data and pull out basic/intermediate analysis).
I am aware of panel from AWS/GCP but have never really hosted anything on my own.
I understand APIs , but the most that I’ve done with them (apart from using them in PostMAN) is make simple fetch requests in Python.
I want to understand what kind of learning should I expect , and how much time should it take for me to build a fairly dynamic web-app. Think, Admin Sign-ups , Org creation, Admin Panel for the app, User Roles, User Creation, Management Module with various repeating groups and actions to modify properties of entities.
Basically any well-doing SaaS app but something that can expect between 1000-10000 active users at a time.
I hope this lovely community can help me find the right answers, so that this brother can understand if paying/learning wappler will not just be months of effort, post which he realizes that it was all in vain as he cannot pull it off.
Thanks you so much and much love.
