new here, is rowy dead? and should I focus learning buildship instead? or are they different products? I got a lil bit confused because both have databases. but for now, with my beginner knowledge I realized that I cannot access the firestore database of buildship with the proprietary browser sdk of firestore. (unlike rowy it's almost plug and play)

Hi @Gorbachev, Nope, Rowy is up as well. BuildShip - https://buildship.com/ is a complementary product to Rowy, both solve different problems. BuildShip is a fully managed service where you don't have to worry about anything on any cloud console and you can focus on building and deploying without any friction.
You can combine the power of both (Rowy + BuildShip) for advanced features using the Rowy Trigger which enables you to automate tasks seamlessly based on events that occur in your Rowy environment https://docs.buildship.com/trigger-nodes/rowy-trigger on BuildShip.
You can connect BuildShip with your own Firestore database easily https://docs.buildship.com/tutorials/firebase-project. To connect and visulaize BuildShip's own Firestore database you can use BuildShip tableshttps://docs.buildship.com/basics/buildship-tables.
BuildShip | Visual Low-code Backend Builder
Low-code visual way to build your app's backend workflows, APIs, scheduled jobs, cloud functions - powered by AI. Combines the best of no code and code.
Rowy Trigger – BuildShip
A unified resource to start building your backend with low-code. Dive into triggers, nodes, and step-by-step guidance to jumpstart your workflow creation.
Hence, our push for recommending BuildShip for any logic (backend) or workflow part. Especially with cloud functions being slow to build deploy and run on Rowy. BuildShip offers a much faster and no-code streamlined experience.
Thank you 😄 you are right, I do feel slow when doing backend logic with rowy (the constant updating and deploying) but on the brighter side, it felt more robust than buildship. but IDK, I'm still a newbie to both buildship and rowy
