Its possible to store files in a database, but definitely not recommended
S3 is a good and cheap file storage service
You could store your files base64 encoded as text in your db - which I do not recommend
thanks!! as im building just for fun isn't firbase a good option as it supports file upload?
Firebase surely has a good dx, but the vendor lockin is very heavy. Therefore i am conflicted to suggest it, but considering your building for fun i can also not shit talk about it
For anything serious i cannot recommend it
well its not serious so firsbase it is
wish i could use trpc and prisma with it lol
You could definitely use trpc
Prisma too when not using firebase‘s noSQL database (fireStore is its name i think)

but firestore is not supported in prisma docs
how would that work?
Its proprietary tech, it is not supported
But no one forces you to use firestore, only because firebase is your hosting provider
You could still host a postgreSQL database for an example on railway
okay I'll try it
thanks
