Problems with Firebase

• Create an admin page to show 10 records with condition on 3 fields. It requires an index (shares).
• Show 10 documents from 3 collections and show more button (shares).
• Load documents, update one document and show updated (likes).
• Posts, likes and comments in different collection produces too many reads.

Challenge

Is there an alternative for Firebase to create projects fast?

• db security rules
• easy auth, auth emails (forgot password, etc), customizable emails
• db from client
• library on client with good (better) API
• no coding
• hooks to trigger events on data change
• live data updates
• service hidden under gcloud network (so that other services might think it is Google Crawler)

Questions

• how to organize Firebase project so that it is easy to navigate and read code
• how to test Firebase functions locally (cli or web or mockups)
• how to connect Firebase with other service and have consistent reliable logging, delayed jobs (messaging system), auth (security, firewall, roles)
