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.

To keep the focus of this guide on building our chat app, I'll skip the steps in setting up certain dependencies, such as Tailwind CSS for styling, Nano ID for generating strings used to create a short URL version of an original URL and validator for implement URL validation.

Is there any point in sanitizing (stripping/encoding) user inputs when all output will be encoded by the app?
For emails, a robust email validator from a well maintained package such as validator would be a good idea.
-
First name, last name criteria and input sanitising - unicode, 1 to 50 chars, trim & striptags?
Regarding escaping brackets and ampersands - would you do this prior to storing the value in the DB? This would seem like the only way to do it, otherwise you are looking at escaping after DB queries or escaping in the client, neither of which I like. React automatically escapes strings but it's not something I want to leave to chance, and I do not want "dangerous" data in storage. validatorjs's escape() function would seem the best fit for the job.

Validator errors (js, Node, MongoDB)
I'm taking a Javascript course at the moment, and while it's truly fantastic, parts of the Mongo stuff could use some updating (already had to course correct with some syntax). I'm now getting an error I really don't know what to do with, and SO isn't helping in this case. Per the course, we're using validator (https://www.npmjs.com/package/validator).
