If I were to build an ERP app with full Order to Cash flow, including integrations with financial systems, pdf printing systems, other operational systems in live data sync etc.
What bubble backend choice would be the best?
I need to handle:
Complex relations with fast feedback - ex. claculate all monthly income vs all monthly costs.
Do not need to store large files
Need fast endpoints to receive and send data
Stability
Need loops, else if flows for many evaluations etc.
No code/low code solution which isn’t that hard to learn
Server located in EU option

My mind suggests Xano or Supabase. I know Backendless was said to be limited comparing to Xano.

But having in mind your experience, what is the best appraoch dear Hivemind?

The best backend for Bubble is Bubble.

The best front-end for another backend is WeWeb.

And the best backend for this frontend would be?

I’ve generally used Supabase for these kinds of applications that rely heavily on data processing and otherwise WU-intensive jobs. Hmu if you need any help with it though

Depends what you’re looking for, Xano is more low-code than Supabase but is more expensive. Supabase is more portable and open (being open source) and AI-assisted coding may help you integrate it.

Personally I think Xano’s more at risk to AI than Bubble as for people like me that could use Xano or Supabase, I’m more likely to jump straight to Supabase rather than use the Xano low-code middle ground thanks to the convenience of AI assisted help.
