TrailBase
Backend-as-a-Service for building networked applications
TrailBase is an open, fast and easy to self-host Firebase-like application platform, i.e. it provides solutions for common application needs out of the box, such as: storage for relational data and files, an admin UI, auth, type-safe APIs, sync via change subscriptions, plugins for custom logic, etcetera. Its open, portable and single-executable nature helps developers to reduce their supply chain dependence, e.g. cloud or infrastructure lock-in, and in-turn provides more control over data sovereignty.
The server is built on Rust and SQLite. Integrations are provided for many popular client environments: JavaScript/TypeScript, Dart, Swift, Kotlin, C#, Rust, Go and Python. A TanStack/DB integration greatly simplifies sync for web applications. This project will add a slew of improvements, ranging from schema management, API/traffic routing, tenant management, guest and email-less accounts and an audit-trail for admin-API interaction.
