#12If that small inconvenience represents the most horrible experience in your life, you must have an exceptionally charmed life.
How droll, Greg. How droll.

#14I wouldn't touch Firebase. I've had issues with lost data and unexpected/unknown BigQuery bills. Very unintuitive and a ton of footguns, no support

So at least one person here doesn't know what droll means.
You're getting my upvote because you were able to control yourself and not say get off my lawn.
Also, you said what I was going to say.
Finally, I wonder if the author is using the literary technique called "hyperbole"? These days, it is hard to know.

You could even say that I was employing irony by calling his humorless comment “droll.” I don’t mean “you,” per se, because you find it hard to know if the author was using hyperbole or was conveying that this was, in fact, the most horrible experience of his life.
Do you know what “pedantic” means? And do you think maybe you’re being… that?

I interpret the “most horrible experience in my life” as hyperbole, but I don’t know for sure. The OP did take the time to post a long-ish complaint after all.
This kind of routine friction ranks above breaking a shoelace, but just barely. We can all sympathize, I’m sure. No need for the public whinging.

#18I'm a bit surprised at the negativity here. I have used Firebase for 11 projects and have had no issues at all. I love that I can quickly and easily set up services that work well together.
For most projects I use the realtime database and authentication. The database is very fast and the realtime feature is essential for some of my projects. Authentication is free no matter how many monthly users I have.
I also use storage and hosting, where I get excellent performance.
All but one of my projects work within the free tier. The one project that sometimes exceeds the free tier is generally less than $1 per month. My projects are fairly small, but I know that for large projects, there might be more economical solutions somewhere else.
For me, I would highly recommend Firebase to other developers.

Yes, thanks for the English lessons, and for draining what little humor one might find in the exchange.

We may never know for sure if using Firebase was, indeed, literally the most horrible experience of Cracker Jack’s life. I mean, the rest of us do, of course, because we don’t have the emotional intelligence of a gnat.
