Our broader mission is to help make open source projects available 'as a service' and we want open source founders and maintainers to benefit!

Baasil.io itself will be similar to Firebase except you can swap out the database layer (you can self host your database or use a third-party db as a service). It will be fully database agnostic.

Our founders are long-time open source contributors and creators of https://github.com/socketcluster/socketcluster and https://github.com/mattkrick/meatier

We are part of a broader loosely-coupled collaborative of 10+ popular open source founders who are working to create a new generation of tools and compatible services for building and running the next generation of web applications.

Our open source collab runs open source projects with an aggregate of 10K+ GitHub stars affecting all levels of the application stack ranging from Graph databases, deployment utilities, realtime data transport layer, frameworks and even react-based drag-and-drop UI builders.

We want to turn open source repos into compatible services (both compatible with the self-hosted open source versions and with other services).

Some projects maintained by our broader collaborative: http://socketcluster.io, https://github.com/mattkrick/meatier, http://dgraph.io/, https://github.com/ipselon/structor, http://www.azk.io/

We are always looking for new trending indie open source founders to join our collab and work with us.
