Yes, I discover nhost a couple of months ago when the founder replied on a post I made in IndieHackers. I was not aware of both before.

My goal with StaticBackend is to go more in dept in features like sending emails, Stripe payments. Features that a SaaS / web app typically need in the backend.

I'll not stop at Database and WebSocket. I'd like to go further based on demand. I'm building more a backend teamate for frontend developers.

I recognize that my choice of using a Document database instead of an RDBMS can be argued. But one as to make choices.

Thanks for your comment.

I would suggest that quality is much more important than quantity/breadth here. I would use such a service to save me time, but it will only save me time if it's rock solid and very actively maintained. Otherwise I'd much rather just build my own.
yes totally. that's why I'm focusing on simple implementation and not planning on adding anything yet. I planning on building real-world SaaS examples to showcase the capabilities.
