Should you use Firebase? In this video I’ll talk about why I chose Firebase and the questions you will need to ask yourself before you dive in. I have five reasons why I think Firebase is good as well as three important considerations, one of which might make Firebase quite BAD for you! 

In case you are wondering, Google has not sponsored this video. I made this review simply because I've become a fan and I wanted to share what I've learned and love.
