1. I liked that the nodejs example shown here uses async await syntax. I don’t get why people still put callback hell examples in 2020.
2. What I really like about firebase is firestore is a scale to zero database. It doesn’t cost me anything if I have tiny amount of data and low frequency of users. This lets me spin up lots of small sites at no cost. With cloud run I have a real api server that also scales to zero. My last GCP bill was 3 cents. And yes, GCP was dumb enough to actually charge my credit card for that. Not sure why they don’t have a $1 minimum.
I too have a project on firebase for a small business which costs me 0 but is vital for this business. I use firestore, cloud functions, auth and cloud storage for this project. Very nice for small apps.

But I like what I’m seeing as supabase’s pitch.
