I'm wary of stuff like this, probably really useful to rapidly iterate.... but what a maintence nightmare after 10 years and your schema has evolved 100 times, but you have existing customers in various state of completeness. I avoided firebase when it came out for this reason. I had a few bad experiences with maintaining applications built on top of Mongo that made it to production. It was a nightmare.

This is why I’ve always stayed well behind the bleeding edge but still within earshot if anything comes along that sounds like it’s of interest to me. I usually code to work and not for pleasure, although I do a little web programming for friends, but I still use jQuery and Typescript for that, I think the only “new”thing I use is tailwind, which is a bit of a game changer for what I like to do, I never liked CSS but it worked well enough for my needs.

Did they say schemas aren’t supported, or is that implied by the firebase label?
We support schemas! You can build them in the GUI or manage them as code [1]
We hear you on the pain for evolving NoSQL schemas. [1]
For what it's worth, we're built on top of Aurora and support relations so evolution should be much easier!
