Hi am considering which to use for my new application, are there any resources you found helpful to read about the considerations between the two. Any thoughts welcome if you have a perspective.
Thank you!
Amit

Hi @maimon.amitzk6w, are you any closer to making a decision here?
It’s tricky for us to answer that without more information on who your app is for, how often it will be used and how many people will be using it.
Thanks

Yes. I decided that for the time being I’ll use both. Fire base for user auth and airtable as the core System of record (since its relational) and easy for me to view.
