But you should be careful if it actually does takeoff. Firebase is freaking amazing, but the pricing can get crazy expensive.

- elitan 6y agoI also tested Firebase but quickly ran into issues. Firebase's database is a NoSQL database, whereas almost all my data for the apps and (micro-)SaaS I was building had relational data. Their frontend data fetching felt clunky and did not fit my requirement. Also, the fact that Firebase is a closed-source backend felt scary in the hands of Google (https://killedbygoogle.com/ https://killedbygoogle.com/). Firebase's problems and my desire to have the perfect backend made me build an open-source alternative to fix all the shortcomings. PostgreSQL instead of NoSQL. GraphQL instead of REST. 100% open source. That is now https://nhost.io https://nhost.io.
