I am trying to figure out how to spin up effective React apps as fast as possible. I have loved my experience with using Next.js so far and have been using Next-Auth as an authentication process.

So far, I have used Django on the backend, but it looks like I can speed things up by ditching the backend and going serverless with the Next.js API routes. That means I am left with a database solution to figure out. Does anyone have experience using Firebase together with React, or alternatively using TypeORM with a PostgreSQL database?

I am valuing ease of development in this decision.
