I’ve been pretty critical of Firebase on HN, perhaps too strongly. My experiences with it have all been the same, it goes like this: Client has a new-ish codebase that was written by relatively inexperienced front end developers. They aren’t confident enough in the backend, and are attracted to Firebase because it lets them write everything from the front end. Then they proceed to create the most convoluted DB model and a spaghetti backend that’s split between the front-end repo and various cloud functions. In practical terms it’s been a nightmare every time, for me personally.
