Firebase VS Azure Static Web Apps
Firebase
Firebase is a mobile and web application development platform developed by Google. It offers a number of services for developing and managing mobile and web applications, including a real-time database, user authentication, hosting, and analytics. Firebase provides developers with a number of tools and APIs for building and managing applications, including a cloud-based NoSQL database, user authentication, and hosting.
You can use Firebase to build and deploy a variety of different types of applications, including mobile apps, web apps, and real-time collaboration apps.
Azure Static Web Apps
Azure Static Web Apps is a platform for building, deploying, and managing modern web applications. It offers a range of features for building and deploying serverless applications, including support for a variety of programming languages, automatic scaling, and real-time monitoring
Azure Static Web Apps is designed to be easy to use and require minimal setup, making it a good choice for developers who want to focus on writing code rather than managing infrastructure.
Firebase
- Global CDN-based hosting
- Firebase Authentication is integrated support for authentication and authorisation
- Firebase CLI and Firebase Hosting are used for deployment and hosting respectively, with built-in support for continuous integration and deployment
- features a free tier and fees for more usage and storage
- connects to more Firebase products, including Firestore, Cloud Functions, and Hosting
- More suitable for online and mobile applications that need authentication and authorization features, as well as applications that require hosting or real-time databases
Azure Static Web Apps
- limited accessibility in some areas
- A limited level of authentication is offered
- GitHub Actions are used for continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD), which means that a command-line interface is not necessary
- Charges for a custom domain, a free tier, and a greater app size
- connects to further Azure services, including Azure Functions, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Storage, and Azure Event Grid
- appropriate for less-featured, simple web apps
