Hi, I'm Philipp, a Software Engineer focused on backend development, systems programming, and high-performance database infrastructure. Currently, I work at e.solutions, where I dive deep into research and development for proprietary time-series databases (TSDB). I love pulling back the hood on complex systems — whether that means designing low-latency data pipelines, optimizing storage engines for massive observability workloads, or tinkering with custom hardware prototypes and smart home automation in my free time. If it involves building fast, reliable software in Go or Rust, I'm probably in my element.
Supabase claims to be a Firebase alternative and offers a Postgres database, Authentication, instant APIs, Edge Functions, Realtime subscriptions, and Storage. While Firebase currently offers additional features such as Firebase ML, Crashlytics, and Cloud Messaging, Supabase shines with lower costs, no vendor lock, a relational database, and performance. And actually, it was a pleasure to work with supabase so far.
When it comes to building apps, software testing is critical. It assures the quality of the product and satisfies the customers as well as the users. In the web development world, end-to-end testing is a widely adopted technique and because of tools like Cypress, Puppeteer and Playwright it is also easy to do. But when it comes to mobile applications, end-to-end testing is not so common. My guess is that many app developers are discouraged by the setup and configuration needed to add end-to-end testing to their apps.
