    The open source Firebase alternative.

  • https://supabase.com -> Heavy but powerful—maybe too much

    🚀 Strapi is the leading open-source headless CMS. It’s 100% JavaScript/TypeScript, fully customizable and developer-first.

  • https://strapi.io -> you can code but it's not necessary if I remember correctly

    Open Source realtime backend in 1 file

  • https://pocketbase.io -> I still have to try it, it looks really promising
