No it does not work with appsync, but it could be hacked into doing that by modifiing the GraphQL plugin. There would be a huge value in replacing the aws datastore mainly because of its missing basic features like complex queries or queries with sort params.
I updated my profile.
I do not know supabase, is it similar to hasura?
They spend quite some effort [1] to make the RxDB graphql replication working with their backend. Maybe supabase can use a similar wrapper over GraphQL.
Actually, the long term plan is to move away from pouchdb. Before the last major release [1] I decided to make RxDB useable with other frontend/backend databases but then found out that I first should refactor some pain points.
Yes and no. Read "realtime" not like "realtime computing" but like a marketing keyword introduced by firebase which means something like live-replication. https://firebase.google.com/docs/database?hl=en
Good questions, I would like to see some data for that.
I assume it is like a reverse bias where someone who looks like garbage is expected to be a good programmer.
There is that video game called robocraft where you build robots and fight with them. There I learned to put all vital stuff in one place, because when you are dead you are dead. Spreading the weak spots around a body only increases the danger. A lobster will neither survive blind, nor without mouth, nor without antenna.
I recommend to watch the documentation about the facebook people that invented GraphQL [1].
Listen careful to which problems they solved with graphql, then think about the problems you have to solve for your application. Most of the time GraphQL is not worth its tradeoffs.
Until 4chan comes and makes a challenge about who can remotely burn down a house faster. I think you need someone being personally responsible that the robot does not destroy stuff and people will not do this for free.
That is the reason why I let issues that sound bad, uncommented for at least one day.
When you read it later again, you have a completely different mind about it, often a better one.
