Hello everyone!
As I explore and use Bubble, I am increasingly impressed by the convenience and efficiency it offers, especially for rapid prototyping and small to medium-sized projects. However, I have some questions that I’d love to hear the community’s thoughts on:
- Development Efficiency
- For small projects or quick launches, Bubble’s development speed is undeniably impressive. However, as the complexity of an application increases, does Bubble maintain this efficiency? How does it compare to traditional coding approaches in terms of iteration speed and maintenance costs for larger, more intricate projects?
- Architectural Advancements
- In traditional development, microservices and low-coupling designs are often considered the gold standard for large-scale projects. Given Bubble’s highly integrated and abstracted platform, does its architecture align more with a traditional monolithic model, or are there ways to achieve a microservices-like low-coupling architecture? How well does Bubble handle scalability when user numbers reach the millions?
- Migration from No-Code to Traditional Development
- If a project starts on Bubble and scales successfully, but later requires migration to traditional development architectures (e.g., React + Node.js or microservices) due to performance or functional demands, is there a streamlined process or tool for such migration? Or does Bubble’s tightly integrated nature mean that rebuilding the system from scratch is inevitable?
- Bubble: A Step Forward or a Limitation?
- Overall, Bubble is clearly a step forward in democratizing development and enabling rapid MVP validation. But for large-scale, highly complex systems, could it become a limitation? For example, how might extensibility and flexibility be impacted as the application evolves?
I’d love to hear insights or experiences from the community on these topics. Thank you!
