SchallOS and gFM-NEXT are exciting for FileMaker developers because the platform is no longer tied to a single database engine. The system database can run locally in the browser using IndexedDB, or on SQLite or PostgreSQL for multi-user scenarios. Additional adapters, such as DuckDB and Neo4j, are planned for specialized applications. This creates a familiar development experience, but with significantly more deployment flexibility: locally, on a network, or as SaaS.  #FileMaker #Databases #ERP #LowCode #SchallOS #GFMNext
