(dev here) Backend-as-a-service products are very popular right now because they remove or simplify a lot of the backend complexity. It comes super handy for some projects.

Yes, the DB is SQLite. We chose it among others as it is file based and thus you get get up and running in seconds.

Authentication and authorization are key features, I agree. They were not integrated in the POC but they will come very soon. There actually is auth for the admin panel, I just need to standardize it for other entities.

I got it for the CMS use case, Manifest's aim is not to be a competitor of large frameworks that gives you the control of everything. We rather think that it will fit for another typology of projects. You can use it as a headless CMS, but there already is products like Strapi or Directus that get the job done. I am thinking more about projects with more "app" logic, but the next step is adding custom logic to it.
