When to Use Firebase

Good fit if you need

  • Mobile app MVP with tight deadline
  • Need auth + DB + hosting + analytics in one platform
  • Google Cloud ecosystem user

Not the best choice if

  • Need SQL database or complex queries — use Supabase
  • Want to avoid vendor lock-in — Firebase is HIGH lock-in
  • Need self-hosted option

Consider instead: supabase, appwrite

Migration Guide

Difficulty: high
Data you can export: firebaseusers2json для auth, но DB миграция сложна
API standard: Проприетарный

💡 Plan 2-4 weeks minimum. Consider running parallel during migration
