I've tried Superbase.

Their choice of Deno for edge functions is... Well, unique.

For my current project I have to do a lot of quirky logic, and I kept hitting a brick wall with Supabase.

I also didn't enjoy the self hosting journey. Not exactly easy.

Haven't used their edge functions yet. What's the issue with Deno (I'm not familier with it)?

For the other stuff, what do you find quirky?

Firebase let's you write functions in normal node js and Python.

Supabase only supports Deno. The quirkiness is my own server side logic. Tbf, I've tried to build this project at least 4 times and I might need to take a step back.

You aren’t forced to use their serverless runtime - you can pull their js lib into anything and sent events in several ways. There’s even Python libs.
