Trying to use Firebase is the most horrible experience in my life

I was trying to use FlutterFlow as I like it very much but it keeps asking for Firebase access and so I attempted to setup a Firebase account for the client I am developing for and this is what I get: Sorry we cannot create an account at this time, please Contact Support, we are unable to create billing profiles at this time.

SO tell me, what if I build my business on this platform and it does this?! and guess what?! Noone to call, no phone number and when you click on the link that says Get Support it dumps you at some generic support portal with no instructions. Firebase is 100% crap. I need to find an alternative to use with Flutter.

You should probably be a little careful in general with these low-code solutions that pretend they can make engineering decisions for you.

Firebase is pretty ridiculous. It's like if Seth MacFarlane did a skit about Javascript and the cloud.

If I had to go with something like Firebase, I'd stand up a Supabase instance. At least then I'd know I had control over the backend, being based on Postgres. (Though I'd rather just code to the RDBMS directly, sticking with what's stable, not what's cool)

They've had some issues with billing and usage over the last couple of days, though it's supposed to be fixed: https://status.firebase.google.com/incidents/7PC34iWhnMCpZtr...
