Firebase VS PocketBase VS Appwrite

What is Database?
(Database)=
A database is a structured and organised collection of information that is specifically designed to efficiently store and retrieve data related to an application. It provides a reliable and centralized storage solution where application-specific data, such as user information, product details, or transaction records, can be securely stored and accessed when needed.
