2nd this haha, firebase wasnt always a google product...they ended up buying them out because it was a truly innovative framework (at the time). How they've maintained the product since is debatable but the tech is solid.

I've used firebase for many apps - albeit not enterprise level - and they have been very performant and efficient. No issues tbh. But ive never paid for firebase so i cannot speak to the paid teir.

All it is under the hood is websockets, no sql db, oauth, and html/js. Yes you COULD write those integrations yourself, but doing it for many apps or for POCs would be tedious and difficult to maintain. firebase was a great playground to go from idea to code to prod quickly.

Is it the best cloud solution for enterprise production or multi tenant saas platforms... Probably not lol
