stripe-firebase-extensions VS Appwrite

Stripe was the most difficult and finicky aspect of the migration. Within firebase, I used the stripe firebase extension to manage all the stripe components. It took care of a lot of the implementation work so I had no idea how to approach this when I first started. I bounced between different ideas like bi-directional sync of the subscription tier within firebase, but eventually I settled upon using Stripe as my single source of truth. Although it’d be more involved, I knew it’d make fully cutting Firebase out of Fleeting Notes easier down the road. Here are the migration steps I settled upon:

In this example, we are going to use the Stripe Payment Extension updates, which will allow an enhancement of the Stripe Webhook events. In this example, we are going to focus on when a product has been created.

If you haven't tried Appwrite, make sure you give it a spin. It's a open source backend that packs authentication, databases, storage, serverless functions, and all kinds of utilities in a neat API. Appwrite can be self-hosted, or you can use Appwrite Cloud starting with a generous free plan.

What is Appwrite? Appwrite is an open-source backend server that abstracts the complexity of backend development, allowing developers to focus on building their applications. It provides a wide range of services including databases, storage, functions, and authentication, all designed to work seamlessly together. This integration simplifies the development process, reducing the need for extensive configuration and integration work.

Appwrite is an open source BaaS platform that provides services like serverless functions, serverless databases, user authentication, and messaging. Since its release, it has quickly become a popular choice for building websites and applications.

Appwrite: Open-source backend server for web and mobile developers.

Today, this ecosystem is going strong with new providers like Hasura, AppWrite and Supabase powering millions of projects. There are a few reasons people choose this style of hosting, especially if they are more comfortable with frontend development. BaaS lets them set up a database in a secure way, expose some business logic on top of the data, and connect via a dev-friendly SDK from their app or website code to save data easily. These modern tools build a blend of managed database with curated plugins such as authentication, great admin dashboards, and function as a service type capability - all in one package, and often offered as a integrated hosted service.

Joins - see Future of Queries - MariaDB supports json joins, so definitely possible!

Wow, looks nice! I almost felt like I could understand Bitcoins code xD
