Firebase as a serverless solution

Whether building a personal project or enterprise solution,
choosing the right server architecture is never simple. With
Firebase it can be, but is it really the answer? I think not.

I've used Firebase as the sole solution to authentication and db
management for a small solo mobile app project and it was
brilliant. It allowed me to get everything serverside setup in
no time and allowed me to focus on the apps actual development.
However, the lack of control over the API, or at least the
effort it takes to actual customise it, makes for more of a
nightmare when you want to run entirely through firebase for an
enterprise system.
I stuck to using Firebase DB, auth, etc on small projects and
for enterprise only making use of the auth capabilities while
running my usual Node.js backend I've come to love.
If you're keen to check out what Firebase has to offer (maybe
it's exactly what you need) then head to
