Supabase
Supabase is an open source Firebase alternative. It is built on top of Postgres, the world's most trusted relational database (and very well integrated with it). Adding, editing, and updating data is simple via the admin spreadsheet-like interface. You can subscribe to data changes via websockets. Every Supabase comes with a complete User Management system that works without any additional tools. It is built on top of PostgreSQL's policy engine for fine-grained access rules. User sign ups and logins can be added and users' data can be secured with Row Level Security. JWT authentication tokens allow controlling exactly what users can and cannot access. It also offers an object store with unlimited scalability, for any file type. You can add custom policies and permissions to specify which user is allowed to access which files. Storage Authorization is built around Postgres so that you can use any combination of SQL, Postgres functions, and even your own metadata to write policies.

Leave emailParse
Parse features object and file storage, user authentication, push notifications and a dashboard. From the frontend, Parse can be used via REST of GraphQL API. Parse was acquired by Facebook in 2013 and shut down in January 2017. Following the shutdown notice, the platform was subsequently open sourced. Parse hosted service shutdown in January 2017, at which point all users needed to migrate their applications to self-hosted Parse Server or move to other platforms. After the hosted service was shut down, the open source version grew into an open source community with its own blog, documentation, and community forum. Though Parse didn't receive a lot of new features since then, GraphQL support was added in 2019. Parse still receives regular updates including bugfixes and stability improvements, and you can host it on DollarBackend if you already have an app that uses it.

Regular ("coupled") CMS (content management systems) provide a frontend (usually a website), a backend and an admin dashboard. This is great for simpler websites, as it allows to set everything up in one place. However, this also means that the backend and the frontend are tightly coupled together, and cannot be customized easily. Headless CMS provides only the backend and an admin interface, giving website/mobile app designers and developers full control over how the content is displayed. This empowers teams to create more unique and brand-specific user experiences, without any design limits. Headless CMS also usually have a better API performance than coupled CMS, resulting in faster websites and apps. The downsides of headless CMS include is the cost of developing the frontend. For certain CMS very few or no templates or out-of-the-box solutions are provided, resulting in need to design a frontend from scratch.
