What do you do if you need a quick CRUD API deployment for a small project or experiment?

Question

For example you need to write or edit arbitrary entities very quickly from the backend or frontend, read them, filter them.
We create experimental projects almost every week and this is a very common task

Next.js+Firebase.

Next.js for rapid API, Firebase for flexibility and schemaless entities. This is what I tend to do

I would suggest to either:

- Use a cloud-based API builder: Firebase, Appwrite, and Hasura...etc.

Or :

- Use a serverless framework: AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions.

Answer

@theterminalguy Great combo! We've used this bundle a few times, but we're always looking to increase the speed of getting REST for small projects, so Next.js+Firebase is a thing of the past

Answer

@zedkira Appwrite, and Hasura haven't seen it before, will look into it. Cloud solutions seem redundant for a quick start & experiments
