We're currently building a MVP using http://horizon.io/, which is a self-hosted Firebase alternative. Reading this makes me a bit worried that we will run in to the same problems as the author. Anyone with experience in production apps built on Horizon who has some knowledge about these concerns?

Horizon uses RethinkDB, you can still build around RethinkDB directly.

You wouldn't run into password issues, since Horizon doesn't yet support password authentication.

From my understanding you can setup Horizon with your custom Node.js backend. So you're in control of your data and can manage your custom business logic
