Review Summary

Firebase is generally praised for its ease of use and integration, particularly for developers building mobile apps. Users highlight features like real-time databases, authentication, cloud messaging, and analytics as strengths. While the free tier is valuable, users often mention limitations in querying, scalability, and pricing for high usage. Some also find the documentation lacking and support inconsistent. Overall, Firebase is a solid BaaS solution for beginners and smaller apps, but challenges arise when scaling to larger projects.

Pros

  • Firebase offers a wide range of features like authentication, analytics, cloud messaging, database, and more.
  • Firebase has extensive and reliable documentation with examples of various use cases.
  • Firebase helps developers focus on frontend and app logic without server management.

Cons

  • Firebase's NoSQL database is not suitable for complex queries and lacks support for transactions in certain cases.
  • The free tier offers limited storage and concurrent active users, making it unsuitable for largescale applications.
  • Advanced analytics features are limited compared to specialized platforms.

"How can Firebase help an electronics engineer?"
What do you like best about Firebase?

Firebase is like a great toolbox in the cloud that has quickly integrated my hardware products with mobile applications.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

I want a better interface to upload the cloud functions to the cloud.

Recommendations to others considering Firebase:

I highly recommend FIREBASE services, given their stability, scalability, and support. I would only say that they plan well the database traffic and invocations of the cloud functions since it affects the invoicing.

What problems is Firebase solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have experience designing hardware and firmware for microcontrollers. However, when having to program servers and functions that run in the cloud, my knowledge is limited. With FIREBASE, I have solved these problems in a simple, safe, and scalable way.

"Become backend dev faster"
What do you like best about Firebase?

It's so easy to use and integrate using Flutter as it automatically adds the required files using a list of commands,makes the other backend tools such as node js useless as it takes a lot of time to get used to it and we have to also learn js which I for some reason don't like,also it has a number of features such as authentication, database and also support for ai

There isn't any good resource support to learn how to manage data in firebase auth and when the db increases more than 5 gb it charges us

"Affordable and Easy to use product buffed with features"
What do you like best about Firebase?

Firebase provides the tools to make a product and take it live with services like Functions, database, hosting, etc. The speed is pretty good and you can enjoy the prominent services like hosting and databases, without even paying a penny. It is really easy to implement in your project giving it an extra edge

What do you dislike about Firebase?

It is necessary to pay for Firebase functions even if we are not going to use it at a market level. So it makes it hard for students to test some features because they have to pay for functions even if they have to make a single API call.

What problems is Firebase solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Firebase for my small-scale and educational/trial products. It doesn't require a lot of time to set up and is really easy to use. So, the applications that are mostly for a demo or small-scale use, Firebase is a great option as it has a complete eco-system of services. And the most frequently used services like database, and hosting, are for free.

"Best for Authentication!"
What do you like best about Firebase?

Firebase provides the best and eassy integration for authentication which makes the load for auth much more easier and secure with googles protection. It provides packages for both frontend as well as backend making it easier to implement.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

Firebase should provide a limited api calls instead of making it mandatory to pay before using firebase functions.

What problems is Firebase solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use firebase for authentication purposes and sometimes for firebase functions. With firebase's straightforward documentation and npm package I simply implement firebase google, twitter or etc authentication without breaking a sweat in multiple projects of mine personal as well as offical org projects.

"Long term usage of firebase"
What do you like best about Firebase?

Firebase provides a huge set of tools that help to deploy full applications from start to finish like databases, cloud storage for files, and finally hosting. The free tier is enough for testing and deploying small application and speed of the tools are awesome.

The support to so many frameworks is the best part.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

I am a student and I make many applications using Node JS, due to env files, if Firebase had provided hosting Node JS, it would be very appreciated.

What problems is Firebase solving and how is that benefiting you?

The greatest problem for people who start development is finding the database services for online hosting, and Firebase solves the problem very easily. I have used the Firestore database a lot as well as the Storage API. The ML library is also very good. Also we can create many projects for free and free limit is more than enough for my projects.
