Reviewer scorecard
“Best documentation in cloud computing. Tutorials alone make it worth recommending. Simple, predictable pricing.”
“Authentication, Firestore, and Cloud Functions get you from zero to production fast. The free tier is generous.”
“Not for enterprise scale but for startups and indie projects, the simplicity and pricing are unbeatable.”
“Firestore's limitations become painful at scale. Supabase with Postgres is the modern alternative.”
“Squeezed between hyper-scalers above and serverless platforms below. The mid-market IaaS space is shrinking.”
“Firebase defined BaaS but Supabase's open-source, Postgres-based approach is the future.”
