I had the opposite experience with Firebase.

Amazing at first, but quickly fell apart when I had to implement any sort of meaningful business logic.

Yes I agree with you. With Hasura there are 3 main ways to handle business logic. We use the first one at Nhost and it's working (and scale) very well.

1. https://3factor.app/

2. Actions - https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/manual/actions/index.html

3. Remote Schema - https://hasura.nhost.io/console/remote-schemas/manage/schema...

I know Hasura is actively working on this exact issue and they just released Actions (second option) and I think we will start to see a standard/best practice approach to business logic soon.

Having tried remote schemas and reading about actions - I should say it doesn't feel right.

@elitan - just checking nhost. Features sounds promising.

Did you use hasura for building nhost's backend as well ?

Yes Nhost is built on the same stack you get with a new Nhost project.
