This is amazing what you guys have done. 8base should be YC winners. My group would like more information regarding investment opportunity. Who can we reach?

#12Super stoked to see 8base out here. I love JAMstack and I love how 8base fills up the data layer for my JAMstack projects nicely. You will know what I am talking about if you have spent days trying to setup a GraphQL backend for JAMstack project. I wrote about how I use 8base for JAMstack on CSS Tricks few months ago https://css-tricks.com/hey-lets-create-a-functional-calendar....
I use 8base extensively and happy to see where it goes next and how developers adopt it

#13Go go 8base team! I met them at GraphQL Berlin and was really impressed by their product. Fills an important hole in the JAMstack ecosystem.

Thanks Evan. Great to hear from you and appreciate the kind words! We need to talk at some point about integrating Fauna into 8base.

#16Anyone knows the difference between this and AWS Amplify/AppSync? Seems to be doing the same thing. Amplify also offers offline development. Good job otherwise. https://aws-amplify.github.io/
Hey patrickaljord - it's a great question. 8base and the tools you mentioned meet at very similar cross-roads, we all take VERY different paths to get there.
I think what notably sets us apart is the developer experience in defining data-model/roles/permissions/authentication/etc. through the management console. Also, 8base being a service that's production-ready as soon as you click "Create Workspace" is a big difference.
I'd love for you to try building a little experimental app on 8base, and hearing what you think are the differences/similarities :slightly_smiling_face: let me know if you're interested. Thanks, Albert.

#17Congrats for shipping, looks great.
It's been a while since I looked into GraphQL backends, so I'd love to know how it is different compared to Postgraphile, Hasura or Prisma.

#18Note to OP: the right arrow link next to "Explore the docs", about 90% towards the bottom of the homepage (just above "Ready to try 8base?" and the footer) leads to https://docs.8base.com/docs – which 404s

Nice catch, should be fixed now. Thanks!

Think the major difference is that there's much less vendor lockin with 8base. 8base is just a GraphQL endpoint, letting you use any library you want to interact with it, while Amplify requires you to use their specific APIs with their infrastructure. 8base also has a built-in roles and access management system, and lets you do authentication with any OpenID connect service.
