Open-source Firebase alternative
PostgreSQL database, authentication, real-time subscriptions, and file storage in one platform. Generous free tier, excellent developer experience, and fully open source.
Use when
You need a production-ready Postgres database with auth and storage without managing your own server.
Skip when
You need complex multi-region setups or are already deep into another database ecosystem.
No Africa-specific restrictions. Free tier pauses inactive projects after 1 week - set up a cron ping to keep it alive.
