12/16/2021, 10:03 PMWe had an MVP built with firebase that’s scaling up. Don’t necessarily want to migrate the whole backend, but they have reports and read heavy stuff that would greatly benefit from being able to do join queries. So I was going to potentially mirror the db in a way and use it for certain things. Then down the line We could potentially migrate and use supabase as the primary db

12/16/2021, 10:30 PMprobably need to keep using firebase auth (assuming your using it) for now as well, and have supabase queries done on a backend for now.
not sure about mirroring the data to supabase though, maybe @User has some ideas - he's been diving into a lot of firebase > supabase migration stuff

12/17/2021, 2:44 PMInteresting I'll take a look at this. As for mirroring I figured I could just use firestore triggers every time a record is written. We're currently doing that to index stuff to algolia and works pretty well
