Firebase provides real-time database, authentication, hosting, cloud functions, and analytics. The original BaaS platform. Still popular despite Supabase's rise.

Netlify provides hosting, CI/CD, serverless functions, and edge middleware for web projects. Pioneered the JAMstack approach with great Git-based deployment.
Reviewer scorecard
“Authentication, Firestore, and Cloud Functions get you from zero to production fast. The free tier is generous.”
“Git-based deploys, serverless functions, and the Edge network are solid. Great for static and JAMstack sites.”
“Firestore's limitations become painful at scale. Supabase with Postgres is the modern alternative.”
“Vercel has pulled ahead for React/Next.js projects. Netlify is good but no longer the default choice.”
“Firebase defined BaaS but Supabase's open-source, Postgres-based approach is the future.”
“Vercel's framework-first approach and AI features are winning developer mindshare. Netlify needs a new differentiator.”
