Future Plans

Provide migration guides between popular platforms
Implement a Firebase example project with switchable backends
Supplement more comparison information for BaaS platforms
Add performance and cost comparison data

Platform Comparison

Firebase

Advantages:
- Most complete functionality, mature ecosystem
- Deep integration with Google services
- Comprehensive documentation, active community
Disadvantages:
- Closed source, cannot be self-hosted
- Incomplete support for Windows platform
- Access restrictions in some regions

Supabase

Advantages:
- Open source, can be self-hosted
- Comprehensive support across all platforms
- Support for PostgreSQL
Disadvantages:
- Some advanced features are still under development
- Relatively smaller community

Appwrite

Advantages:
- Fully open source, can be self-hosted
- Relatively complete functionality
Disadvantages:
- Flutter plugin maintenance is not very active
- Documentation and examples are relatively scarce

AWS Amplify

Advantages:
- Integration with AWS ecosystem
Disadvantages:
- Flutter plugin maintenance is not proactive
- Not available in some countries and regions
- Configuration is relatively complex

PocketBase

Advantages:
- Lightweight and easy to deploy
- Open source, active community
- Active development
Disadvantages:
- Version 1.0 has not been released yet
- Relatively basic functionality

Regional Availability

When choosing a BaaS service, consider the access restrictions in the target users' regions:

Firebase: Access restricted in mainland China, Iran, and other regions
AWS Amplify: Restricted in mainland China (requires ICP), Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and other regions
Supabase/Appwrite/PocketBase: Can be self-hosted, not subject to regional restrictions

This project organizes various popular BaaS platform plugins for Flutter, making it easier for everyone to view, use, and facilitate migration.

The absence of certain features does not imply weakness in BaaS capabilities, as third-party plugins or APIs from other services can supplement them.
