Slant community chat on DiscoursePro Open source
Couchbase and Couchbase Mobile are open source and released under the Apache License.
Pro Ability to run ad-hoc SQL like queries on realtime big data
Couchbase N1QL allows native SQL processing over JSON data with high performance indexing for low latency queries at scale.
Pro Ability to make predefined fast queries
With Couchbase you can make "Views" of data, which are practically predefined queries which are fetched with an O(1) algorithm.
Con No model mapper for Android
Couchbase does not have a model mapper for Android built-in and out of the box, instead you will have to write your own from scratch.
Pro Easy to deploy
Deploying BaasBox is very simple, and the documentation on their site is very helpful and easy to understand.
Pro Self hosted and hosted options
You can choose to either download and install Baasbox on your own server, or use their hosted solution.
Con No JavaScript SDK
The JavaScript SDK is not yet released although it should be available in the near future.
Pro Simple and seamless user registration
User registration with Kinvey is pretty good and usually works without any problems. It's also very easy to use, you simply pass the username, password, email, etc. to the required method and register a callback that returns whether the registration was a success or a failure. Same thing is do...
Pro Asynchronous uploading of files
When you want to upload a file, you just create an object and initialize the file upload to the server (this is done asynchronously).
Con The free plan isn't that good
Kinvey's free plan only includes the first 1000 users for free, 5 million push notifications (which admittedly, is pretty nice) and 2GB of storage.
Pro Can be hosted everywhere
Using Docker, Vagrant or installing it by hands in 4 or 5 simple steps, you can host it virtually anywhere.
Pro Realtime through filters
You do not connect to classic rooms but to search filters and can be warned of changes on permanent storage or volatile one.
Con No hosted version
Kuzzle has no hosted version. In order to use it, you have to install it to a remote machine. This can be cost-effective but it also adds overhead because you will have to take care of the hosting and backend infrastructure yourself.
Con Young project
Kuzzle is (as of february 18th, 2016) in RC version.
Pro Good for sensitive data
Since kinvey is a self-hosted solution, it can be used to store sensitive data (emails, financial data etc...) safely, since only the developer has access to the backend.
Con No hosted version
In order to use kinto you have to download it and host it on your own server infrastructure. While it does help you avoid outsourcing your data to a third-party, it also adds the overhead of having to maintain a backend for your app.
Pro Extensible
Built with an eye to be used from within your node.js applications e.g. from within Koa, Express, Hapi, etc
Con Maintained by RethinkDB
Last commit Nov. 2016
Pro Granular permissions
For companies or large teams of developers, where there are multiple projects being worked on at once, you can choose permissions for any developer and decide who gains access to each app on the backend.
Con Weak documentation
Kumulos is lacking in the documentation department. A lot of things are explained in just a few sentences, with many things even being absent entirely.
