Firebase remains the fastest way to build and ship mobile and web apps. The SDK quality and documentation are excellent. But Firestore pricing unpredictability and NoSQL lock-in are real risks. For prototypes and small-to-medium apps, it is unbeatable. For large-scale production, plan your data model carefully.
What's great
- Fastest path from idea to shipped product for mobile/web
- Excellent SDKs and documentation
- Free tier supports real development and testing
Watch out for
- Firestore pricing can surprise at scale
- NoSQL database creates vendor lock-in
- Complex queries are limited compared to SQL databases
