Q: Can this be used for a SaaS backend?
Hello,
Bika looks great!
I am building a SaaS application and trying to decide between using this and Supabase.
Can Bika be used as the backend for a SaaS backend? Or is Bika more for Team and workflow type work?
Can you tell me what under what conditions I should NOT use Bika for a SaaS backend if any? (e.g. a certain level of demand is expected, etc.)
Thanks!

Apr 27, 2025A: Hi Steve, Bika is more for Team and workflow type work. That said, if you're building a lightweight SaaS where you mainly need to store and retrieve data, Bika can work as a backend through the OpenAPI.
But just a heads-up:
• Bika isn’t a traditional relational database like PostgreSQL or MySQL.
• It doesn’t support deep relational queries or very high concurrency scenarios.
• So if your SaaS expects heavy traffic, complex joins, or DB-level controls, it might not be the best fit.
Here's the Bika OpenAPI documentation if you want to explore: https://bika.ai/help/openapi/bika
Also feel free to share your use case in the community — we’d love to hear more:
