very easy to get started, and good tools to build MVP quickly to test out the idea and market fit of the project.

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

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

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

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.

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.
