The Panel's Take

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

The reviews

Authentication, Firestore, and Cloud Functions get you from zero to production fast. The free tier is generous.

Helpful?

Firestore's limitations become painful at scale. Supabase with Postgres is the modern alternative.

Helpful?

Firebase defined BaaS but Supabase's open-source, Postgres-based approach is the future.
