We were using CouchDB and we changed because we needed to use a managed service. The one available on GCP was Firebase.What other advice do I have?

Their technical support needs to be enhanced with more support for customers.

What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature I like is that it is in realtime. Updates are also very fast.How has it helped my organization?
I'm really happy with the performance and with what it gives us.What needs improvement?
We use Firebase for media processing and we are growing more. As we grow, the pricing goes up and it's high compared to competitors. The solution is expensive. In the next release, they should focus more on realtime features.What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Licensing costs are on a monthly basis.What other advice do I have?
I would rate it a seven and a half out of ten. Not a ten because I haven't explored every facet to it. I am very happy with what I have seen so far.

Firebase uses JSON, and the storage format is very different to that of SQL. This does not allow for easy migrations.For how long have I used the solution?
Less than one year.How is customer service and technical support?
