AceBase is incredibly easy to install and configure, especially for Node.js or embedded JavaScript-based apps. What I like most is the real-time syncing capability with automatic indexing and the ability to self-host. Unlike Firebase, it doesn’t lock you into a platform and gives you full data control. I used it in a collaborative task manager app where users could see live updates without refreshing the page. It supports complex JSON queries and is fast even on low-resource machines.

The official documentation could use more detailed examples, especially for advanced use cases like setting up authentication or syncing in large-scale deployments. Also, there are fewer community tutorials compared to Firebase, so you sometimes have to figure things out on your own. That said, once it’s configured, it works very well.
