Hello all, We want to switch to a new database, because we've had problems using Firebase. - Our database bill has been getting quite expensive for a small startup ($1400 per month). - We have to duplicate data across documents to achieve performance goals. E.g. denormalizing user avatar URLs. - Queries are not very powerful. For example, you can't filter two fields simultaneously by the greater than operator '>'. - Firebase cloud functions have extremely slow cold-start times (>5 seconds is common), and deploying new versions can take minutes. We are actively researching alternatives, but we could use your help! What database should we switch to? The rest of our tech stack is Nextjs, React, Typescript, and Tailwind. Submit your answer below, or bet on which we will decide on! This is not a poll, this is a prediction market, and I will select our choice in one week. (Our company is Manifold Markets, which runs this site!) Mar 18, 9:01pm: Sorry, going to N/A this question in favor of https://manifold.markets/Austin/what-database-will-manifold-be-prim

Seems like a natural alternative to Firebase. What do you all think?
