Firebase pros and cons

So here's what I have for Firebase pros and cons so far:

Pros:

  • Autoscaling built-in
  • Can start for free (only need to start paying once we hit 50 connections)
  • Robust APIs for Javascript (including several frameworks like Angular), iOS, and Android
  • Built-in support for authentication services like Facebook, Google, and Twitter
  • Declarative Security Rules model allows us to enforce read/write privileges and data validation throughout the tree

Cons:

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:
