Leverage rapid prototype development for application building

The pricing structure needs improvement since it uses cloud billing. We do not know how the pricing is calculated as it is all on the cloud. The concept that the more you use, the more you have to pay could have been much better. They could have implemented credits based on usage so that users would be able to easily calculate the pricing and provide it to customers. I am the co-founder and CTO of the company called Aiwox (A I W O O X). We have numerous projects for mobile application development, and we have shifted from Google Firebase to Supabase because there is a fixed price for Supabase. Supabase is built on top of AWS, and it provides a very good pricing model. Some of the credits are free, and once you reach a certain limit, you know the charges. The second improvement area is related to SQL. They provide the real-time database, which is very good, and they have gradually started including PostgreSQL, which is a relational database, but it is not production-ready yet. I may be incorrect; perhaps they have released something new, but PostgreSQL database real-time database remains a challenge with Google Firebase.

A scalable and stable solution that has good scalability and is easy to setup

It is a scalable solution. I have yet to have a scenario regarding automatic scale and if there's an increase in resource requirement or need. We have yet to have that scenario. We have yet to test that. The scalability was more than manually adjusting and increasing whatever I had to do. I rate it eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Allows us to create functions without any infrastructure apart from the Google App Engine."

"Google Firebase has a lot of services like storage, Firestore, and push notifications."

"Google Firebase is my top option, and I do not currently find any other competitors that match its offering."

"I would recommend Google Firebase for its cost-effectiveness, availability, and ease of deployment."

"The most valuable feature of Google Firebase authentication and deployment."

"The most valuable features of Google Firebase are its database, noSQL database, file storage, authentication, and notifications."

"Firebase has been helpful in providing analytics and crash insights."

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that its storage can be easily used in our mobile applications."

More Google Firebase pros

"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."

"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."

"The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."

"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."

"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."

Cons

"The product is not that cheap."

"The solution could improve by providing an improved SDK tool and automatic indexing for databases."

"The solution's pricing could be better."

"In Google Firebase, reporting is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required to be made in the future."

"I rate the support from Google Firebase a four out of five."

"Firebase uses JSON, and the storage format is very different to that of SQL. This does not allow for easy migrations."

"Google Firebase could improve the ability to create our own reports, other than what's available on the dashboard. For example, if we want to customize the report or export the data, this is a large task."

"Since Google Firebase is a NoSQL platform, areas for improvement include enhancing query functionalities to be more equivalent to SQL, like MS SQL."

More Google Firebase cons

"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."

"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."

"The backup functionality needs to be improved."

"Lacks better integration into enterprise storage products."

"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not easy to calculate the cost per copy, use or if the load rose dramatically we did not know how that would impact the final price."

"I rate Google Firebase a seven or eight out of ten for pricing."

"Pricing for Google Firebase is not so expensive, and if you're a start-up with a small amount of data, it will be quite cheap, and there's even a free tier that you can use. If you're doing a pilot with a reasonable amount of data, for example, just a few gigabytes, it's still on the free tier. If you increase the amount of data, Google Firebase pricing is still reasonable."

"The monthly cost is based on writing data and queries to the database."

"The tool is affordable."

"It is an expensive tool."

"My company makes monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."

"The price is perfect and very clearly defined. The price during the trial setup is free and then you move to a paid service."

More Google Firebase pricing and cost advice

"Pricing for providers is revenue-shared based. Providers should invest in hardware to set up the Jelastic cluster."

"I would rate the cost 3 out of 5. There are additional costs other than licensing fees."
