benororon Show HN: JavaScript as a Database – Serverless Platform

Kudos! Sounds like a novel concept for newer trends gravitating back again towards SSR at "The Edge"©

I remember using typicode/lowdb in a past life and wondering why it had to have an ad-hoc ORM-like API when good ol' data structures would do just fine?

Nothing against Svelte (actually the opposite), but maybe showcasing a simplified code snippet in the landing page and make it more framework-agnostic might draw more brains

On the other hand, there might be a chance to showcase specific examples of more trending SSR frameworks such as Remix and Next.js. As far as I can tell direct DB access might make more sense on the server-side (LoaderFunction & getServerSideProps respectively)

Great craft!

benororon Building apps in minutes, not months

IMO there's no way around building real production apps starting from the UI. Design has to begin with data model. It's like building a House not from the foundations but from the facade.

BaseQL: https://www.baseql.com/

A single GraphQL access point to all your cloud Data.

The idea is to use existing relational data stored in the cloud to rapidly create a GraphQL API that is production ready.

We support Airtable for now, and we're developing GSheets.
