The security rules where I fell off my love with Firebase, not that there is anything wrong with the security, but until the point of having to write those security rules, the product experience felt magical, so easy to use, only one app to maintain pretty much.

But with the firebase security rules, I now pretty much have half of a server implemented to get the rules working properly, especially for more complex lookups. And for those rules, the tooling simply wasn't as great as using typescript or the likes.

I haven't used firebase in years tho, so I don't know if it has gotten easier.
