The 2024 Web Hosting Report
Backend as a Service (BaaS) goes back to early 2010’s with companies like Parse and Firebase. These products integrated everything a backend provides to a webapp in a single, integrated package that makes it easier to get started and enables you to offload some of the devops maintenance work to someone else.

You can try https://parseplatform.org/, it is self-hosted if you need. And also there are a number of cloud services with compatible API, like https://www.back4app.com/ It has dart-friendly generated API client, much simpler than firebase and is built on top of postgresql and mongodb.

Supabase Series B
Not to crash the party or anything. Supabase is great and all but in terms of feature completeness and getting actual products built, it doesn't come close to Parse[0].
Same with Appwrite. Both of these are very popular but they either lack essential features or have them behind a subscription wall. For example, the OSS version of Supabase (last I checked) doesn't include the edge functions which are really important for easily computing stuff on the server side. Parse on the other hand is 100% open source and has a huge feature set. It's older than all of these lo-code tools and actually helps solve the issues one comes across when using such tools.
Another thing is extending these tools which is a pain. For example, Parse supports multiple databases by default (postgres & MongoDB) and the ability to write a custom adapter if you need something else. Similarly, if you at any point need to go 100% custom it also makes that possible so you are never locked in. These tools however don't have that level of low-level control and are general all or nothing kind of tools best for small-to-medium sized problems which don't have a lot of room to grow.
But both of these (Appwrite & Supabase) are super markety. Appwrite is all over the place with their ads, Supabase got a huge trend when it launched etc. Parse on the other hand is not too good at marketing their product being fully community run which is one reason not many know of it. Another is their not-so-fancy docs.
I have no stake in any of these products: just my conclusion after having tried all of these.

Building a GitHub activity feed with Node.js and Socket.io
The first is the script tag in the head of our HTML document that loads the Socket.IO client library. This script tag includes the Socket.IO client library that will communicate with our socket.io server from the code above.

WebSockets Unlocked: Mastering the Art of Real-Time Communication
Now we will be implementing socket logic using socket.io for building websockets. This library provides an abstraction layer on top of WebSockets, simplifying the process of creating real-time applications. For better maintainability, it is recommended to create a separate file for socket calls. To do this, navigate to the src folder, create a folder named services, and inside it, create a file named socket.ts under the services folder.

Does the MERN app with socket.io work correctly in the Google app engine?
I am using socket.io for real-time notification service. Previously my frontend part was deployed in Netlify and here the notification was not working properly as Netlify follows serverless architecture.

Is it possible to run discord bots on Dreamhost?
yes. Im running on DreamCompute currently. Discord.js and socket.io within same app. A dedicated server works too, but pricier.

I've been working on this project for at least a decade...
No, not a library. More like, the frontend and backend just happen to need the same version to be compatible (socket.io is a good example, moment.js was the most basic I could think of).
What are some alternatives?
Appwrite - Build like a team of hundreds_
Primus - :zap: Primus, the creator god of the transformers & an abstraction layer for real-time to prevent module lock-in.
supabase - The open source Firebase alternative.
SocketCluster - Highly scalable realtime pub/sub and RPC framework
