As an aside, what happens with FireBase when you need more than 30GB of storage in a single app?

- tekacs 13y agoYou switch to the Inferno plan (scroll down! :P) and then on to Enterprise plans (or just pay overages, though I'm not sure if they apply to disk?)
- jaytaylor 13y agoAh, thanks. The fold looked like a complete page to me! Regardless, I still find the potential lock-in costs and issues incurred with a proprietary datastore like FireBase to be a total and complete deal breaker. For truly production-grade systems, relinquishing control over your data stores does not seem like a viable path to better reliability or control for any business with significantly large swaths of data. If there were a compatible open-source equivalent with easy import functionality for a FireBase dump, I'd be singing a different tune. Am I missing or overlooking something here? I get the use case for a small project or app, but for mission-critical production, it doesn't seem like a good idea.
