What backend database is being used?

[pieterhumphrey]

I've looked thru some of the repos looking for what database is being used, but clearly I'm looking in the wrong place.
Some of the discussions mentions Supabase and also Postgres/Heroku.

Hi Pieter,

For the public API (api.realworld.io) :

The NodeJS APi is hosted on Heroku.
I used it for a while for the database too but moved when Heroku stopped free tier.
I now use a PostgreSQL database with Supabase.

For the backends implementations, i don't have any listing about what is being used (most backend implementations are not deployed to avoid costs).

Got it. Thanks for responding! for the project in general, not the public demo site (api.realworld.io)
are other backend database configurations something that can be contributed/would be welcome?

In this discussion panel you should find ongoing implementation work in progress.
You can contact maintainers to know if they need help.
