I started using Firebase over 5 years ago because of the 'real-time' nature. I originally used to use Real Time Database, but now I use Cloud Firestore. I recommend using the Google Firebase PaaS to quickly develop or prototype small to enterprise level web/mobile applications. Since Google purchased Firebase, it has exploded and it growing rapidly. I also find some level of comfort that it is Backed by Google.
Thanks for sharing! What do you like about Cloud Firestore?
Firebase is a great way to work on an MVP very quickly with the ability to work on all your backend functionalities using the #firebase function to connect to features like the Realtime database, Firestore to Firebase notifications and Firebase ML Kit. If you want to work on a new product and get an MVP out immediately or soon, use firebase has your cloud service of choice or AWS if you don't mind cost
Thanks for sharing! Have you ever tried this stack on AWS? Just curious about the cost savings.
Yes, i did while working on a social networking app. i used Aws Lambda for my Node.js function which was connected to a DynamoDB database with AWS S3 for storage. Must of the cost came from the database. initially used the relational database provided by AWS and the cost was ridiculous. Then decided to switch to a non-relational database which was DynamoDb, the cost was quite ok especially for the read operations but lots of logic where done on Node.js to be able to get my queries like a relational database.
Good to know. Thanks again for sharing, this will definitely help other StackSharers. =)
