Database Backend Selection
Canonical env model: Ring Platform selects the primary database and push stack with DB_BACKEND_MODEk8s-postgres-fcm, firebase-full, supabase-fcm). Postgres‑primary production still uses Firebase for FCM when enabled — not Firestore as the system of record. Full matrix: Backend modes and databases .
Ring's unique database abstraction layer allows you to start with one database and migrate to another without rewriting application code. This guide helps you choose the right backend for your needs.
