TrailBase
Open, sub-millisecond, single-executable FireBase alternative with type-safe REST & realtime APIs, built-in JS/TS runtime, auth & admin UI.
TrailBase provides a self‑hosted backend that mimics Firebase‑style services while running as a single executable. It offers type‑safe REST and realtime APIs built on Rust, SQLite, and Wasmtime, supporting multiple databases, WebAssembly endpoints, geospatial queries, and server‑side rendering. The system includes built‑in authentication with password and OAuth options, and an optional admin UI for data exploration and configuration.
The platform targets developers of mobile, web, or desktop applications who need low‑latency data access without managing a complex stack. Its sub‑millisecond response times aim to remove the need for external caches, and the single‑binary deployment simplifies installation on Linux, macOS, Windows, or via Docker. Client libraries are available for JavaScript/TypeScript, Dart/Flutter, Rust, C#/.NET, Swift, Kotlin, Go, and Python, enabling type‑safe integration across many languages.
TrailBase is released under the OSL‑3.0 license, is free to use, and does not require a subscription. The project is stable, with pre‑built binaries and Docker images for quick setup, and includes documentation, benchmarks, and a live demo to illustrate its performance and features.
