Firebase

I've used Firebase for several years with great success and extremely low costs. Their APIs work for native and web with frequent updates!

Nice tool for handling our account handling. Really enjoy working with it.

Perfect when starting new projects, it has many features which take hours to build if you were to do them yourself. I was able to launch products which would never see the light of day just because of how fast working with Firebase is.

It's incredible how complex Firebase has become, because of the link with Google Cloud. Firebase used to be an easy solution, but it's all soo overly complex that I don't trust any of it. Maybe I will suddenly get a large bill because I made a mistake, or the configuration is bad. It's really annoying. The service has gone from an easy to use cloud solution to a complete mess of configuration annoyances, security angst, complex issues. The documentation is overly complex. You loop around in al the options. And everything refers to Google Cloud again. Nothing is easy with Firebase anymore. It has become a little glue on top of GC, nothing more. It's a mess

Using Firebase has been a fantastic experience! The real-time database and easy authentication make it incredibly straightforward to build and scale applications. I appreciate the detailed documentation, which helped me get up to speed quickly. Plus, the integration with other Google services is a major bonus. It allows me to focus on creating rather than managing servers. If you’re looking to streamline your development process, I highly recommend giving Firebase a try!

It is a very logical tool for writing very fast, especially when connecting and writing from different sources, it is very fluid. However, even in the paid plan, the limits on reading data are sometimes annoying. There should be plans to be able to draw more data or the process should be streamlined.

Ease to setup and use: Used it on a vue.js project while building a simple crud app

While Firebase has many strengths, I find it notably challenging, if not impossible, to create diagrams for tracking KPIs directly in the platform. The need to constantly reapply filters is not the most efficient way to monitor important metrics. Furthermore, I'm somewhat skeptical about the accuracy of the tracking data, which sometimes seems less precise than expected. Despite these issues, I must commend the excellent features like Authentication and Firestore that Firebase provides. These tools are fantastic and greatly simplify many aspects of app development and data handling. They certainly add significant value to the platform and make it a powerful tool for developers. I look forward to seeing how Firebase evolves to address these feedback points in future updates.

Nice ecosystem
