How these alternatives were chosen
Tools Firebase names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in Platform. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
Firebase also lists AWS Amplify, Microsoft Azure App Service, Parse Server as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
