Backend · Firebase
Firebase is Google's managed backend: authentication, Firestore, cloud functions, push notifications, and analytics under one console. For mobile-first MVPs that need realtime data and zero server operations, it's a fast, proven foundation.
Firebase removes the backend operations burden entirely for the right product shape.
The honest comparison: Firestore's NoSQL model is great for document-shaped data and realtime feeds; Supabase's Postgres wins when the data is relational and you'll want SQL, joins, and reporting later. We pick per product, not by habit.
Security rules written and tested — the most-skipped step in Firebase projects — plus cost guards on reads and functions so a traffic spike doesn't become an invoice surprise.
Excellent for mobile-first, realtime products — auth, data, and push are solved on day one. Less ideal when the product is heavily relational.
Document-shaped realtime data: Firebase. Relational data, SQL reporting, or future warehouse needs: Supabase. We'll recommend honestly in scoping.
Yes, with planning — we structure data access through a service layer so a future migration touches one layer, not every screen.
Usually €0–€50/month during validation. We set budget alerts and design queries so costs scale with value, not accidents.
Yes — rules are written, reviewed, and tested as part of the build. An open Firestore is the classic Firebase failure; we don't ship them.
