"Become backend dev faster"

5/5

What do you like best about Firebase?

It's so easy to use and integrate using Flutter as it automatically adds the required files using a list of commands,makes the other backend tools such as node js useless as it takes a lot of time to get used to it and we have to also learn js which I for some reason don't like,also it has a number of features such as authentication, database and also support for ai Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

There isn't any good resource support to learn how to manage data in firebase auth and when the db increases more than 5 gb it charges us Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Affordable and Easy to use product buffed with features"

5/5

What do you like best about Firebase?

Firebase provides the tools to make a product and take it live with services like Functions, database, hosting, etc. The speed is pretty good and you can enjoy the prominent services like hosting and databases, without even paying a penny. It is really easy to implement in your project giving it an extra edge Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

It is necessary to pay for Firebase functions even if we are not going to use it at a market level. So it makes it hard for students to test some features because they have to pay for functions even if they have to make a single API call. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Firebase solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Firebase for my small-scale and educational/trial products. It doesn't require a lot of time to set up and is really easy to use. So, the applications that are mostly for a demo or small-scale use, Firebase is a great option as it has a complete eco-system of services. And the most frequently used services like database, and hosting, are for free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
