Hi!
So, the only full-fledged tutorials I'm seeing with Bravo is using airtable and I don't think airtable is powerful enough for my project. I was thinking more of using firebase but it seems you can only use that to login and register the users. Can you use firebase to store other data like posts and comments? If yes, are there any tutorials on that, and if no, is there any other alternatives that is as powerful and scalable as firebase that can store everything?

Xano.
Register & log in users, relational databases, can make custom API's so you can process the data effectively. It has a steeper learning curve than airtable but I think it's worth it compared to airtable+firebase - Airtable is pretty limited
There are also tutorials for Backendless for example. However, regarding your question: Google offers a service called firestore where you can store data like you expected from firebase. There are no Bravo specific tutorials afaik but the integration works like the other tutorials.
FYI, I made a video about choosing the type of backend with some examples a while ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUX8efyDM1g
Thank you!
But are they still scalable though, because you pay per month instead of paying as you go. I don't want to pay for enterprise right now but if my application grew, that would be needed. Also, I saw your new video about Supabase. Is that any good?
I have never worked with supabase so I can't say anything about it. Firestore offers pay as you go pricing
But can you scale with backendless even though you start off with they're cheaper cloud options?
Yeah, of course
Thank you!
Yes, that's it
