       | Noob question: does this supports offline syncing like firestore?

         | Does anyone find the flutter app samples?
         | 
         | On the linked website above (https://spaceuptech.com/) they say
         | that they have app sample apps for ... and Flutter.
         | 
         | I can't find any on their github repo. Does anyone have better
         | eyes than me?

           | The homepage no longer longer contains the word Flutter.
           | 
           | Their github account has zero repo's with Dart or Flutter.
           | 
           | If you saw it then I guess they changed it and will show
           | Flutter demo's in the future?
           | 
           | Flutter is definitely a solid and viable front-end.
           | 
           | While you've still got the spotlight... show us what you've
           | got SpaceUpTech!

       | 
       | But what i really would like to see would be a self-hosted
       | postgresql as a service. All these solutions need to reinvent
       | this again and again. If there would be one solution with a good
       | backup concept (!) like wal-g integrated all these new PaaS could
       | skip the DBaaS step and just concentrate on the code as a service
       | part. Their feature set would be a lot smaller which may lead to
       | these projects living longer.
       | 
       | Tldr: We need a self-hostable PostgreSql as a Service all these
       | PaaS could depend on.

       | The eventing part doesn't seem comparable at all to Firebase:
       | https://docs.spaceuptech.com/microservices/eventing/
       | 
       | It merely supports triggers versus the synchronization primitives
       | of Firebase.
