Ehm, this this literally the first time I heard about it.

Now, leaving aside the somewhat unethical nature of the article, there are some interesting points worth discussing, and I am the last person to discourage competition or alternatives, but the way I look at it, if this is a service built on top of AWS, that likely means 8base has costs to cover in which case I would make an educated forecast guess of it costing me more in the long run than say Amazon Amplify or Firebase.
