My goodness! Are Google Cloud pricing actually for real? Is this meant for anyone other than fortune 500 companies?

[mahesh_jamdade]

Great release Firebase team you are on 🔥

[KyleWilliams]

Impressed. Would like to see a price breakdown vs supabase now

[aaronfree]

SO EXCITED!!! Awesome job Firebase team, this is exactly what I felt like I was missing from Firebase.

[RossRawlins]

How will this scale compared to the nosql database you have in firebase? Is there going to be a way to move your old firebase db over?

[otockian]

It's like some weird version of GraphQL

[AlloMission]

Given how Google handled stopping the deep link feature and the current uncertainty surrounding the future of Flutter, Google appears to be an unreliable partner. Therefore, I prefer to use a traditional SQL provider that doesn't require a new way of implementation.

[matthewbeardsley]

Does it support GraphQl subscriptions?

[atoumbrekouassi]

Sounds promising !
This remember me the time Angular migrated to Typscript. GraphQL is no more dead 😅

[antlx]

Congrats, Firebase just discovered GraphQL.

[benbowers]

Following a lot of the same patterns as EdgeDB, and I was just wishing there was a BaaS with a database like EdgeDB. Great stuff. Good luck making this competitively priced though

[cristiantoma]

Sounds fantastic. Wake me up when C# is supported.

[rahulgupta]

The learning curve is a little steep for a beginner like me but I am so excited to try this out

[alexandrefaustino]

Love it but would love to see more features in firestore !

[isurujn]

Very interesting. Will it support migration for the underlaying PostgreSQL database in case if you want to move out like in Supabase?

[visskiss]

Confused about pricing. The pricing page on firebase says "There is no cost for the default configuration of your Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instance: 1 vCPU, 10 GB of storage, 628.74 MB of memory." But also says " .. at which point you will be billed according to Cloud SQL pricing". Can you clarify?

[i-heart-google]

@Firebase ... so wait, how does this compare to Firestore and FirestoreRules? Because so far this looks superior to FS with FSRules in every possible way! Should we switch to this DataConnect thing?

[TheTuxtrons]

Now the real question, whats the pricing for this?

[friedpizza]

AWS amplify has been doing some of these stuff, but seeing them in firebase is real cool

[JusticeNDOU]

finally something useful from firebase, maybe i will migrate back to firebase once again
