From what I’ve seen, there’s been increasing talk of using cloud services such as Google Firebase or Amazon RDS instead of a self-hosted MySQL solution.
To further this discussion, I have recently been looking in to BaaS (Backend as a Service) solutions such as Parse. It’s an open source server app that communicates with a MongoDB database. They have a dashboard app too which makes managing and creating databases/apps a breeze.
Parse can be run locally or on the cloud. It also has file storage system that can link up to platforms such as Amazon S3. It has advanced functionality too such as index management, performance tuning, backup and restore functionality and a growing library of client SDK’s.
It even has a built in REST and GraphQL API to connect applications together!
My question is, would a BaaS platform such as Parse work well with Wappler and could this replace the usual MySQL database setup?
