Reviewer scorecard
“Authentication, Firestore, and Cloud Functions get you from zero to production fast. The free tier is generous.”
“4x the compute per dollar compared to AWS. European data centers for GDPR compliance. The best value in cloud computing.”
“Firestore's limitations become painful at scale. Supabase with Postgres is the modern alternative.”
“Unbeatable pricing if you can manage your own infrastructure. Not for teams that need managed services.”
“Firebase defined BaaS but Supabase's open-source, Postgres-based approach is the future.”
“As cloud bills become a board-level concern, Hetzner's value proposition becomes more compelling every quarter.”
