[I work for Firebase]

One of the advantages we offer is ease of use backed up by GCP scale, reliability, and wide variety of additional products.

For example if you use Firestone and Cloud Functions with Firebase, you will still see your instances in GCP.

In that sense Amplify offers a similar experience but a higher complexity and a smaller community.

Firebase is good for getting started quickly as it provides the hosting, scaling and web and mobile apis in one place. It is proprietary though - but not too hard to move a codebase to Parse later if you needed to.

I have built an open source starter kit for web apps built on NextJS and Firebase: https://firestarterapp.com. And intend to smooth out bugs and add more features over the coming days and weeks.

I've made multiple projects with firebase, but the main problem for me was lack of SQL database. NoSQL was a bad choice literally on all of the projects I've decided to give it a try.
