       Firebase as a serverless solution
       By: ashketchum Date: March 15, 2018, 5:52 am

       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
