ObjectBox Java (Kotlin, Android) VS supabase

When I first attempted to publish to F-Droid, I experienced several pipeline issues. After reading through the pipeline logs in GitLab, I realized that my application's database (ObjectBox) was not entirely FOSS compliant and was causing build failures. The following day was spent migrating my app to Room.

I would focus on Kotlin instead of Java, there's really no point in sticking to Java at this point. And when it comes to databases, some local ones that are pretty easy to get into are Realm and ObjectBox, SQLite can definitely be a bit overwhelming at the beginning.

Not sure what exactly the issue is in your case, but linux-aarch64 is already a supported platform for ObjectBox (with some dependencies on libc versions etc). Maybe raise an issue for https://github.com/objectbox/objectbox-java with your specific error output and some details on your setup?

Just to add to this, there's also Realm and ObjectBox as alternatives.

Obectbox

While - strictly speaking - "database" refers to a systematic collection of data, "Database Management System'', or DBMS, refers to the piece of software that provides an efficient and versatile method of working with data(eg: ObjectBox). However, often the term "database" is also used loosely to refer to a DBMS, and you will find most DBMS only use the term database in their name and communication.

Maybe this? I've been looking at it recently.

https://github.com/objectbox/objectbox-java is an alternative to Room.

Here's the issue

Supabase (start for free)

Built with Supabase, Astro, Unreal Speech, Stable Diffusion, Replicate, Metropolitan Museum of Art

Supabase will be used for storing article data in the database and the cover image of the article in storage. Chakra UI will be used to provide style to the elements. By using both, we can build the blog with ease.

For AutoRepurpose, I opted for Supabase as the backbone of the backend. It has reliably supported Penelope AI, which garnered over 15k users in 2022 without any issues.

Supabase positions itself as the "open source Firebase alternative." It was founded in 2020 and is a developer-friendly serverless database platform that supports over 20 frameworks, including popular tools like Next.js, React, Nuxt, Svelte, Flutter, and Vue.

You can find the full application code as a Python Poetry project on GitHub.

If you use PostgreSQL and are proficient with using its row-level security feature, you can choose from several tools/services built above RLS, including Supabase, PostgREST, and PostGraphile. They all provide a way to expose database CRUD as a web API, assuming you've configured the RLS rules to properly secure the access.

Here the thing that accelerated my development the most: Supabase. Thanks to its Database, Authentication, and Edge Functions, we were able to rapidly develop the app. Their JS library made development super seamless, and their local development stack made testing a breeze.
