Firebase gets you from zero to working prototype faster than almost anything else, auth and Firestore especially. The tradeoff shows up at scale... NoSQL joins in app code get expensive and slow, and usage-based pricing makes costs hard to predict. Supabase on Postgres or Convex with reactive TypeScript functions give you more control there without losing the quick-start feel.
