Anyone tried an existing backend API with Bubble as frontend? Is performance okay?

Need help APIs

Hello,

My app has gotten pretty slow and I’ve decided to keep Bubble as the frontend solution but code the backend API.

Has anyone done something like this and was performance okay? Are the API calls done on bubble as straightforward as an API call from a normal web app or do they jump thru some hoops?

My app also has a real-time messaging component which I plan to achieve using Firebase real time db. Will anything on Bubble side mess with that low latency by any chance?

Thankss

Hi Sina,

Can you elaborate on your app and what makes it slow? Perhaps adding some context as number of concurrent users, number of content types and number of fields in them etc.

Might be valuable info for others to think about.
