Good day!
I am developing two of my services, but I need a front (site) where users will only register to use my services.
My services use their database on postgres.
Can you help me find answers to the questions?
- What non-obvious problems may arise when working with the database Bubble.io (import/export)?
- What problems may arise when working with the API Bubble.io ?
- Can I transfer the databases of my services to Bubble.io or is it better to leave a database of your own services on my side?
- What are the problems when exporting the database from Bubble.io ?
- Will I be able to import the database without any problems Bubble.io to my postgres project?
Sorry that my questions are very generalized. I want to understand what problems I may face if I try to integrate my projects with Bubble
The main problem for me is the upload speed when you are importing rows to your database using a CSV file (Bubble’s standard process).
If you mean “working with API to connect your Bubble app to your postgres database”. It will, for sure, make your app slower, as connect Bubble to an external database is slower than connect it with itself. In addition to that, Bubble already have tones of pre-built codes to make the searches, interact and analyze internal data (what makes this process very very easy). If you choose to work with external database, you will always have to keep updating your API calls or creating tones of SQL queries (what is far complicated than use Bubble’s native solution).
I prefere to work with Bubble’s database. But you will find different opinions out there.
I never had one. The process is simple and usually, fast. You will get a CVS file.
I don’t know the upload process you do in postgres. If it is using a CSV file, I assume you will have no problems with it.

if your hosting your current DB somewhere, you can also import it with an API call
