> How hard is it to swap our firebase for instant? I've had an amazing time with firebase, but I sorta want to switch to using a completely local solution.
It should be relatively straightforward to switch. If you have any questions, you could always reach to us on Discord [1]
The only caveat though: Instant is like Firebase; it is not a completely local solution. If you are worried about exposing some data over the internet, I would store the same kind of stuff you were thinking about with Firebase.
> Second, do you offer your own auth or just integrate with other solutions.
We offer our own auth. You have magic code emails and Google Sign in out of the box. We also expose auth functions in admin SDK, in case you want to create a custom solution. [2]
I'm actually imagining telling end users to host the server locally via Docker. I have some other functionality, like the actual lyric transcription, I need docker for.
Thank you for your help. I'll definitely look into this for my next project

What does this mean exactly? If you host your own it is still not local?
