It's incredible how complex Firebase has become, because of the link with Google Cloud. Firebase used to be an easy solution, but it's all soo overly complex that I don't trust any of it.
Maybe I will suddenly get a large bill because I made a mistake, or the configuration is bad. It's really annoying. The service has gone from an easy to use cloud solution to a complete mess of configuration annoyances, security angst, complex issues.
The documentation is overly complex. You loop around in al the options. And everything refers to Google Cloud again.
Nothing is easy with Firebase anymore. It has become a little glue on top of GC, nothing more.
It's a mess
