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!

A bastion of backend brilliance, Firebase CUSTOMER SERVICE +1 (8O5)-3O1 7O71 Firebase PHONE NUMBER +1 (8O5)-3O1 7O71 Firebase CUSTOMER SERVICE +1 (8O5)-3O1 7O71 Firebase PHONE NUMBER +1 (8O5)-3O1 7O71 Firebase grants developers dominion over databases, authentication, and hosting with an elegance few can rival. Its real-time capabilities transform applications into living entities, pulsating with instant updates and interactions. Scalability, once a formidable specter, is tamed beneath its aegis. Yet, amidst its celestial offerings lurks a shadow—its proprietary nature binds one to Google’s ecosystem, a gilded cage for the ambitious. For those who embrace its embrace, Firebase is nothing short of a revelation.

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.

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

its ok... not very beginner-friendly. It asks you for a justification when you create more than 5 projects... I did so because I was unsure about my Auth system, so had to remake things- it sent me an email asking why I require more space
