The common use cases for firebase can be easily reproduced with Phoenix. Phoenix also comes with a handy presence feature that allows you to track whether someone is currently using the product. (Think which present users in a chat room)
I understand the skepticism, but I would highly suggest taking a look and playing around. It's really, really good plus you get to fully own everything you build ;)
- PKop 8y agoFirebase has this presence feature as well. Also, "fully owning" everything isn't a selling point for everyone. Some don't want to own the uptime, manage infrastructure devops etc. Serverless/managed services have their use cases. Small teams, individual developers, bootstrapping an app quickly, running a web app with no servers to manage... Often times much more valuable capabilities than being able to reimplement to functionality already availabile to you for very low cost.
