Picking a backend: Firebase, Supabase, Cloudflare

Transcript preview

initially started with Firebase. I used to use it a lot. Then as I scaled, I was like, "Hey, Firebase charge me for every API call. Maybe I should use, Supabase." So I have-- I am full Supabase guy. I have all my products in Supabase. But then Supabase now have a free projects limit, and it will shut your project down if it's not active for seven days. Now, when you start building a portfolio, which I have, I cannot have idea of every fifteen application, how everything is working. Some are not generating enough revenue where I will be paying Supabase for that. So, it, it became a complicated solution. So in those situation, I started using Cloudflare because Cloudflare pricing-wise is much better, when it comes to that. Now, literally, if I tell you the way I started, keep in mind, I started six years, five years ago, right? I was not even in the place where I could learn and be cl-- start with this. So I started with Google Sheets. The way-- My, my database was Google Sheet. Literally, imagine I scaled a product to thousands of dollars in revenue and actually, ten thousand paid users with just Google Sheet as a database, right? So don't try to complicate. but for this product, so for example, we can use Cloudflare here. Now, if you are worried what is Cloudflare, how to set it up, all you need to do is you just go to Cloudflare website. You'll do the login part. Once that is done, Cloudflare has something called Wrangler CLI. wherever you hear, hear this term, CLI, it means it can be used with a terminal, and if it can be used with a terminal, Claude can access it. It can completely use that. So you just go here, Wrangler, and again, similarly to how we copied one line of code to install it, you can install it, as well. So on this page, it's not showing that line. You can go to another one here. Yeah. So you see NPM create, latest My Worker, nodejs. If you're not able to, you can-- Huh. npx wrangler.dev. You can just find it. Like, if you just ask Claude, "Hey, do that for me." I'm just saying…
