Right Database to build hybrid applications with React Native
I remember, recently a HashNode member had asked- which database to choose while building an app with React Native. I was in a similar situation, and couldn't find a good resource to refer.
That prompted me to write a content piece on React Native databases(Both local, and server-side) and how to select the right database for your React Native applications.
I handpicked these popular databases to make a comparison:
- Realm
- Firebase
- SQLite
- Core Data
- PouchDB
- Async Storage(not a full scale database, but still very popular)
Moreover, I had to do an unbiased comparison, so I took many development factors and app features into considerations. Such as:
- Offline first application
- Database security
- App performance
- Industry regulations
- Supported file and data types
- Pricing
- Real time sync
- Compatibility with third party libraries, and Native modules.
- Zero-copy design
And, so on.
Finally, I published it, and you can read it here.
Would appreciate your feedbacks. Have any questions, reach me out.
