What to expect from an ideal product

  1. Deploy SelfDB on your own servers or cloud infrastructure to maintain complete control over your data and avoid getting stuck with one provider
  2. Use Firebase-style APIs and real-time features without sending your data to Google's servers or paying their scaling fees
  3. Get the same fast development experience as Supabase but run everything on hardware you own or rent directly
  4. Build modern apps with REST APIs, real-time subscriptions, and authentication while keeping your database local to your business
  5. Switch hosting providers anytime without migrating away from a proprietary platform since you control the entire backend stack
