I don't see Google ending firebase anytime soon, but I don't like building inside of closed systems anymore.

It's very very difficult to migrate to a different service provider. Since Firebase is ultimately closed source, it's not your app. Your sharing it with Google.

Running a custom solution with Render(Heroku, etc) takes a bit more effort, but it's mine. I can actually open source it. I have more control.

For my current project I went from Firebase, to Superbase and settled on Django. I have some fairly complex logic and supabase just wasn't cutting it.
