Hello, I would like to correct some information you gave us about Appwrite when you said that "Appwrite uses a NoSql database", I would like to clarify that it does not use a NoSql database but a Sql database which is MariaDB (I think) and that it gives the user a NoSql API, so you have the ease of use of a NoSql API and the power of a SQL database.

Appwrite now supports messaging and as a result push notifications as well. I'm still hesitant to use it as they do not support postgres yet though.

[@javicontesta]

Loving your videos :) thanks a lot for your content

[@agailloty]

supabase can be self hosted, as with pocketbase

[@lolololowbx280]

[@acharafranklyn5167]

Whats this about ....let me look it up

[@Gaamaa-oz5ef2lf3n]

MY PROJECT DOUBTS:
(PHOTO SHARING WEB APPLICATION WITH FACE RECOGNITION FEATURE)
PLANNING IN:
Next JS
TypeScript
A) Which Database is cheaper ?
1) Firebase
2) Supabase
3) MangoDB
4) GraphQL
5) MySql
6) Appwrite
B) Which Storage is cheaper ?
1) AWS S3 Buckets
2) Cloudinary
3) CloudFlare R2
C) Should I need node/express server side coding when I use Next.JS ?
D) Can I deploy my Photo Sharing Next.js application on any Digital Ocean $5 USD/Month cloud ?
In that case can I run self hosted database also in that same cloud like Supabase ?
E) Which authentication would be cheaper or Self hosted ?
1) Firebase
2) Clerk
3) Supabase
4) NextAuth

[@samuelhulme8347]

E: Next Auth makes the most sense for your project, it’s free and open source.

[@samuelhulme8347]

C: You do need node, but no express since Next JS is the server

[@samuelhulme8347]

A4: it’s not a database, it’s a “language” to create APIs
A3 / 5: these are free and open source and are the only databases on the list.

[@samuelhulme8347]

D: Use Cloudflare Pages instead, it’s free forever. I’ve ran Next JS. websites on it before.

[@samuelhulme8347]

A: Cloudflare offers a free forever SQL based database called D1
