You only have to be 'terrified' if you don't write good code. Maybe people should actually test their code before pushing it to production?

It's not firebase's fault you ran bad code and have a huge bill. They have bills to pay also. Think they can tell their vendors 'sorry we can pay you this week. A customer ran up a 30k bill and they can't pay it. So we can't pay you right now. but lol bad code right? '

Well, since Firebase has lowered the barrier of entry with their easy setups, I think it is justified to expect at least some developers to make mistakes.

I don't blame Firebase at all though -- great product.
