Technical & Development

What is Bubble.io?

Bubble.io is a powerful no-code development platform that allows users to build fully functional web applications without writing traditional code. It provides a visual programming interface for creating complex applications including databases, user authentication, workflows, and API integrations. Bubble is used by startups, enterprises, and agencies to build MVPs and production applications.

Can Bubble.io applications scale for enterprise use?

Yes, Bubble.io applications can scale for enterprise use with proper architecture and optimization. Key strategies include using external databases like Supabase for heavy data operations, implementing proper indexing, optimizing workflows, and leveraging Bubble's dedicated server options. KnowCode specializes in helping teams architect Bubble applications for enterprise scale and performance requirements.

What is the difference between Bubble's database and Supabase?

Bubble's built-in database is optimized for rapid development and tight integration with Bubble's visual programming. Supabase is a PostgreSQL-based database offering advanced features like complex queries, real-time subscriptions, row-level security, and better performance for large datasets. Many applications use a hybrid approach: Bubble's database for app-specific data and Supabase for analytics, reporting, or high-volume operations.

How do I protect my Bubble.io application data?

Protecting Bubble.io application data requires a multi-layered approach: implement regular automated backups using tools like PlanB Backups, use external database replication for critical data, set up proper privacy rules in Bubble, enable two-factor authentication, and maintain version control for your application. For compliance requirements like HIPAA, additional measures including encryption, audit logging, and access controls are necessary.
