Wait until you hear about ORMs.

I still have to create tables. I still have to migrate tables, these are all things I don't need to worry about with firebase.

It all depends on what you need to actually do. The only real weakness of Firebase is the Google lock in.

  • You still have to worry about data migrations without a schema though. Unless you just never access old records.

    • Depends.

      Let's say you have an object called box.

      It has 3 properties, the id, it's name and it's weight.

      4 months later you add a 4th property. Cost, odd records that don't have a cost just return null for that field.
