Reasoning for
Database and backend for Qamera AI. Key advantages:
- PostgreSQL underneath — real database, not a proprietary format
- Row-level security — fine-grained access control
- Auth built-in — social logins, magic links, JWT
- Realtime subscriptions — live data updates
- Works well with Next.js via Makerkit
Alternatives considered
- Firebase — proprietary, vendor lock-in
- Airtable — good for prototyping but not for production SaaS
- PlanetScale — MySQL-based, less Postgres ecosystem
