| For this reason, I strongly recommend Google Firebase. The local emulator suite is one of the best I've seen[0] (would love to see others). Powerful and easy to set up[1]. It includes a top notch emulator for auth which gives you a full SSO flow as if going through Google's OAuth flow and makes it easy to get otherwise complicated auth flows nailed down. The database and Functions runtime emulators are excellent and make it easy to prototype and ship. Comes with a Pub/Sub emulator to boot for more complex async processes. You can export the emulator state to disk so you can share it or bring it back up into the same state. If you need to interface with relational DBs, you just use a Pg or MySQL container. Really phenomenal and would love to find other stacks with a similarly solid emulator suite. It's a strong recommend from me for any teams that value speed because it really allows much, much faster iteration. Edit: Dear GCP team, please, please - never kill this thing.

If you really need a 3rd-party Auth solution then it could be good for that. Otherwise I would recommend to sticking to open source tools on top of a hosting provider that gives you containers and a managed (postgres or mysql) database.
