Firebase
Google's app development platform
Firebase provides real-time database, authentication, hosting, cloud functions, and analytics. The original BaaS platform. Still popular despite Supabase's rise.
Panel Reviews
The Builder
Developer Perspective
“Authentication, Firestore, and Cloud Functions get you from zero to production fast. The free tier is generous.”
The Skeptic
Reality Check
“Firestore's limitations become painful at scale. Supabase with Postgres is the modern alternative.”
The Futurist
Big Picture
“Firebase defined BaaS but Supabase's open-source, Postgres-based approach is the future.”
