【The Shock of Owning an RDB Outright - A True "Nocode Backend"】

This thing really lives up to its name, "Nocode Backend"! The coolest part? You get a real RDB (that's a Relational Database) with just a one-time payment. That's it! No more monthly hosting fees piling up forever.

I did the math, and even if you get the best plan, it pays for itself in like, 3.5 years, tops. If you've ever worried about hosting costs, you'll get why this is such a huge deal.

【The Choice That Ends the "Self-Host vs. NoSQL" Debate】

I tried doing it all myself. I set up PostgreSQL in Docker, messed with Hasura and Cloudflare Tunnels... you name it. But honestly? My electric bill shot up, and I just thought, "Nope, not worth it."

I learned the hard way: it's just better to have someone else manage the database so you can get to work. And yeah, there's NoSQL stuff like Firestore, but that always felt like trying to paint without a canvas, you know? It's tough when you're just starting and don't even have your data structure figured out.

【How I Use It: Shining in the Age of AI】

This Nocode Backend is a perfect fit for this "Vibe Coding" world we're in, where you're building fast with AI.

My own setup is pretty sweet: I use "Google AI Studio Build" for the frontend, run it on "Cloud Run," and just plug in this Nocode Backend to save all my data. (I even added my work's Google login to keep it secure).

It's let me build all these "just for me" apps I could never bother with before, like:

- A household budget aggregation app
- An Interstitial Journaling and To-Do management app
- A site update-checking tool combined with Browser Act

【The Dev Team's "Insane" Speed and Skill】

Okay, but the other huge reason I love this thing? The dev team!
They're incredibly responsive and just... get it.

I had this one problem where I couldn't filter data. I sent a support ticket, and boom! They had a fix out in three days! How crazy is that?!

And they keep adding smart updates that people (like me!) actually ask for—better UI, password stuff, webhooks, all that good stuff. Oh, and they added an AI feature for managing the DB, which is just awesome and works great.

【Future Hopes: Bulk Requests】

If I had one wish, it'd be for a "Bulk Request" feature.

Right now, if you want to change a bunch of records, you have to send them one by one, which can really slow things down. It'd be so much easier if you could just update a whole batch in one go. Just saying!

【Conclusion】

But look, I'm still super happy with it. You get to build your app logic fast with AI and just let this thing handle the database. It's the perfect fit.

Seriously, if you're thinking about it, just go for it. The sooner, the better. I really mean it!
