I received amazing support from this company as I was tinkering with a side project, multiple email conversations back and forth even though I was asking some basic GraphQL questions and some specific code written for me. Couldn't believe the level of support, highly recommend checking this out!
Maker
Thanks, Robert. We enjoy collaborating with you.
So this is a little bit like Hasura for RDS? That sounds pretty coo!. Does the GraphQL go through AppSync?
Maker
hey ! There are for sure some similarities between 8base and Hasura. That said, we take the approach of being a fully managed service as opposed to linking up a Heroku account or manage a docker container, ect. Plus, our roadmap for application services (notifications, workflow, messaging, etc.) is really to make sure that 8base becomes a complete foundation for application development, as opposed to one specialized piece of the puzzle. Also, we're not on AppSync! We built our own GraphQL Engine from scratch that's super powerful. If you haven't already, check out the docs for our grouping and aggregation capabilities (). I've not seen anything like it from others offering GraphQL APIs. It's crazy powerful.
Great founders and a great product! So proud of you guys
Maker
Thanks so much, Kate!
Amazing Product!⭐️
Maker
Thanks, Sofia!
This product rocks. Congrats
Maker
Thank you, Aurelio!
Maker
Thank you!
8base is LEGIT. Great, accessible software that allows non-technical folks like myself to engage meaningfully with back-end structure and strategy (for what it's worth, our lead developer is also a huge fan). The 8base team itself is also super solid. Smart guys who are genuinely invested in helping startups create quality experiences that are built to scale. They are also extremely fair with pricing! Have already recommended them to a couple other friends who are looking to build products.

Thanks, Mbiyimoh. Working with you and your team is fantastic!
Great video and super proud that this Product is coming out of South Florida. Congrats and team.
Maker
Thanks so much!
Love to chat further about a project. Looks great guys - I’m sure you are proud of it!
Maker
Absolutely Tom. Please feel free to send me an email at or Sebastian at . Looking forward to it!
Maker
Tom, on another note, after looking at your background, we have a marketing tech project in the pipeline (Multi-tenant SaaS product to be built on 8base) that I'd like to chat with you about.
For a founder, how does the required level of expertise compare to something like Firebase? In that same vein, how limited are the capabilities for a non-technical founder?
Maker
thanks for the question! With done limited training, a non-technical would be able to use 8base to pretty much set up their entire backend (minus custom functions, which would require JavaScript knowledge). That said, we think of 8base as a platform to be used by developers to the benefit of non-technical and technical founders alike. Would love to hear more about what you're working on!
Maker
Matt, thanks for your questions? For non-tech founders we also help them with professional services for design and development of their applications on 8base. Firebase is widely used but it's NO-SQL underpinning isn't well suited to the needs of data-driven startups. Firebase is better suited for building mobile apps that mostly require CRUD operations. Firebase also does not have GraphQL, which is a game-changer for developers and a massive strategic advantage for companies.
I love 8base ideas & features, but for a platform that is built for developers, the pricing & its limitations like (1 free tier workspace, $25/month for 100k DB rows, no clear pay as you go plan, must contact sales, etc.) is not good at all for a developer.

woot! 🥳 nice will try 8base again.
