Recap
Firebase can be used for product development at any scale, including utilizing various Firebase Services. However, it will be a challenge when developing products on a large scale. Every thing has advantages and disadvantages of each. The free version only provides 100 connections and 1 GB of storage, which we need to upgrade if our users increase
But i am impressed with this hosting service. It is very easy and fast to implement. It only takes 10 minutes for the deployment process, our project can be accessed online.
