Reviewer scorecard
“Authentication, Firestore, and Cloud Functions get you from zero to production fast. The free tier is generous.”
“The dashboard ecosystem is unmatched. Prometheus + Grafana is the standard stack for infrastructure monitoring.”
“Firestore's limitations become painful at scale. Supabase with Postgres is the modern alternative.”
“Open source keeps you honest on pricing. Grafana Cloud is competitive with Datadog at a fraction of the cost.”
“Firebase defined BaaS but Supabase's open-source, Postgres-based approach is the future.”
“The LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir) is a credible open-source alternative to the entire Datadog suite.”
