Most apps I build have a rdbms main data store but I use firestore for things like real time interactions or more recently real time commenting.

It would be a bit more time consuming and challenging to set this up across iOS, android, and web. A lot more time would be spent figuring out the system to make this work well and without issues at scale. On the other hand… It takes like 20 min to set up a real time feature with firestore that works across all platforms. It scales well and works great for what it is.

If people try to use it in place of a rdbms or complex use cases, they’re going to have a bad time. But for those who can utilize their tool belt effectively, it’s awesome.

I love firebase products.

Neat. The rpc to Postgres seems really cool. How does it scale compared to firebase (do you have to think too much or just implement and move on)?
