Why I’m dumping Firebase for Web
I have had so many issues with Firebase, but the one that really pisses me off the most is that they used to advertise things like "scale worldwide to millions of users" and "Unlimited Connections" but then cap you at 100k concurrent users (10k initially and will gradually bump you up to 100k). When we got in contact with them about this they were nice enough to explain that we could create another database and shard our data manually.Fuck you Firebase, what a load of bull shit. Implying your database can scale infinitely because we can manually shard our data is like calling McDonalds an all you can eat restaurant because I can keep buying more chicken nuggets.I've yet to meet anyone who has used Firebase on a large scale project and been happy with it. Firebase is a toy at best, IMO.I honestly feel a bit bad for the development team at Firebase, they actually built something really cool that has a lot of potential. The problem I have is that someone took this cool project and basically lied to the public about its capabilities.
