Show HN: Bknd – Firebase alternative that embeds into any React stack

dswbx | 50 points

How do authentication and authorization work? Like Firebase?

(I haven't used a system like that. I'm intrigued by the idea of a backend that's just a database but it weirds me out not to have to write a layer that says who can read what. Exposing the database that nakedly feels super dangerous.)

What does this mean?:

> bknd runs directly inside your frontend app — no separate backend required.

> It supports Postgres

How is the postgres credentials kept secret from the client?

I frequently use pocketbase because I love its extensibility and simplicity. Is this product like pocketbase but you can edge-deploy it? (i.e more infinitely scalable?)

Can it be used without React? Why make it React-dependent/focused? How's it better than going with synch engines, like eg. Zero? Didn't look at code, sorry, on the go now.

Bknd is great. Thank you for creating this, Dennis!

Why so complicated? A torch should suffice for a basic fire.
