What Database service provider to choose?

Hi everybody,

I need to choose a database service provider for my app. I tried Firebase but I believe that the NoSQL option is not the best for my app. Nonetheless, my intention is to use Firebase for other services, especially authentication and cloud functions.

I saw the offers of other providers, but the ones that I searched are too expensive right now.

What options do I have? Can you recommend me a good and cheap (max 30$/month) provider, that ideally can be integrated with Firebase cloud functions?

Thanks

    Hi. It depends on your needs. Maybe the no-code database should be working for you. Try to see Tabbli. It is a high-level flexible database with an elastic search engine inside. And it contains automation scenarios and the site builder as well.
    So the first option - you can use it as a backend for your frontend.
    And the second option - you can build everything with it.

    Since you would like to use Firebase why not try Google Cloud SQL. That can be connected from cloud function ( https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/connect-functions ). You can start around 10 USD/ month with a micro instance.

    If you’re not looking for NoSQL then I guess you’re looking for SQL? Have you tried Amazon RDS or Heroku Postgres. The latter starts at $9/month and is totally hands off and completely managed.
