Simple to get started with and offers integration features in multiple programming languages

The product provides integration features in multiple languages, such as Python, JavaScript, Golang, and all other languages. Google Firebase has documentation, which might seem a bit confusing, but one with decent knowledge can easily explore and get started with Firebase quickly. Before jumping into any cloud infrastructure, the tool should analyze how much it would cost to run the database. Google Firebase provides a certain number of reads and writes per day, which is approximately 40,000 reads and writes. If there are more than 200 to 300 active users per day, there will be plenty of reads and writes to the database. In such a case, one can't use Google Firebase and has to upgrade to Spark, which is where it is based on usage. The tool is fairly simple to get started with. Utilize all the features can get very complicated. One must be a pretty good developer who has a lot of experience to be able to utilize the best features. It gets really complicated over time. The basic functionality and basic usage are easy to use and easy to get started. There are plenty of deprecated versions, and frequently upgrading them causes inconvenience. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

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

"I found the flexibility of handling and dealing with database through EDL to be very useful."

"If you are selling an app with extensive Firebase use, costs may go up."

"This solution supports our real time database. We also use it for AB testing and for its Google Cloud functions. We make use of Crashlytics and reporting on details."

"The Realtime Database feature is the most important for us since we are able to see changes in the database the moment they are happening."

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

"It has security rules to control database read/write operations in real-time."

"What I like most about Google Firebase is that it's one of the easier options to host a website or app quickly."

"The access to Firestore is very easy."

More Google Firebase pros

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

"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."

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

"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."

Cons

"The UI for the realtime database could be simplified."

"We had some compatibility issues with Elixir."

"The platform's bandwidth is quite expensive. Its price could be better."

"Google Firebase's app testing feature for Android, where you can upload your APK, needs improvement because it's not working very well."

"Google Cloud Functions (which is still a BETA version) needs to have more control over the uploaded functions. That is, it needs more options for controlling the functions itself."

"Firebase's real-time information isn't technically real-time. It takes a while to upload user activity into the app. It's not as fast as Datadog, the other solution we use."

"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."

"We use Firebase for media processing and we are growing more. As we grow, the pricing goes high and it's high compared to competitors. The solution is expensive."

More Google Firebase cons

"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."

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

"Lacks better integration into enterprise storage products."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is free."

"It is an expensive tool."

"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 solution's price is based on the number of consumers."

"We are using the free version of Google Firebase."

"My company makes very minimal payments toward the licensing costs of the solution."

"They have a free tier that will cover most projects. For more intensive use, you pay as you use it, but the price is very cheap."

"The pricing plans indicate it can get very expensive."

More Google Firebase pricing and cost advice

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

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