#52Nice!! How does it compare with Postgraphile?
Postgraphile is a great tool. The main difference is that we generate code that you can use any way you like and deploy anywhere you want. If you are a Node.js developer you get a boost that helps you focus on your business logic without giving up on the flexibility of code. Also, on our roadmap, we want to provide developers with a full set of features to make development easier, e.g. integration, connecting to diff…
Very cool. What DB is the tool currently using?

#53Really cool... But I would really like to see more data type support and also if it isn't too much support for other frontend frameworks (Specifically Vue.js/Angular). Nest.js and Prisma is something I wanted to try for a long a time. All the best.

Thanks! We are focusing on the backend but try to provide the minimal staring point for front end clients. We will consider adding more clients later down the road.

#57Playing around in app.amplication.com I'm seeing a lot of similarities to supabase. Happy to see more competition in this space. My initial impression is I'm a bit confused as to whether the goal is a hosted service similar to supabase, firebase, etc, or an offline tool that generates the app then it's up to you to go host it somewhere.
We want to give the developers to choose whether to use the hosted solution or take the app and the source code and host anywhere else. We understand developers need the freedom to choose

#58I'm having a miserable time with Sequelize, and I see this uses Prisma. What contributed to that decision?
Prisma is awesome. We initially tried TypeOrm and Sequilize and quickly move to Prisma for various reasons. I may post a blog post about this journey soon
Please give MikroORM a shot, vastly better than the mentioned.

#59Big fan of frameworks like this. AdonisJS is similar in this space: https://preview.adonisjs.com/

#60Very cool, looks like it only works with Node.js and possibly React. I've a huge fan of Hasura which just sits in front of Postgres and presents GraphQL queries (and is easily deployable as a container).
