No, firebase is not free. There is a free tier, but you can easily surpass that. And to me the cloud pricing is a nightmare. You have to account for multiple aspects and I bet the final bill will still be somewhat of a surprise. At least the first couple of them.

This is why I'll never use firebase, a backend isn't that hard to setup
Yep, I thought the same, but the title of the article sais "Why Frontend Developers"... so I guess there are some people who have no idea of anything else but frontend (which is ok with me), so this may be OK with them and the type of project they work on.
I wouldn't chose firebase for different reasons, but then again - there are different use cases.
Firebase is one of the easiest databases to learn.
It's actually much more than a database but you are right, its quite easy to learn as well.
yeah a swiss knife ;)
Firebase has all you need to kickstart a fullstack project for free (freemium). I always recommend it to businesses in need for a quick MVP.
Next + Firebase is my favorite combo.
Yes, the quick MVP is what Firebase allows you to build.
Is there a self hosted alternative to firebase?
Supabase ;)
Firebase is useful for MVP or side projects, not for a enterprise-commercial projects.
Firebase give us a easy cheap and shortcut path for api/database BUT beware for later about abstraction layer! Still using FB only for small projects only with minimal usage.
Not really free while you need Cloud Function where its very usefull !
If you want to master more advanced stuff by yourself, use GCP (Google Cloud Platform). Alot more fun ;)
API and database is not really hard to create and, just learn to use Node.JS + MySQL , they are free except the webhost like DigitalOcean or Linode.
