Database developmentin the Philippines

A schema is the one decision that gets more expensive every week it goes unmade. We design the data model first, keep it in migrations rather than in someone's memory, and put an admin interface on top of it that your staff can use without a manual.

Questions

PostgreSQL, Supabase or Firebase?
Postgres, usually through Supabase, when the data is relational and reporting matters. Firebase where the app is read-heavy and needs to sync across devices. The shape of the data decides.
Can we get our data out later?
Yes, and that is deliberate. The data model is yours, in a standard database, rather than inside a platform that makes leaving expensive.
Will our staff need training?
The admin side is built for the people who will use it every day, on their real workflow. If it needs a manual, it was designed wrong.
