I wouldn't recommend it at all. I built an app on it and it was an endless source of downtime and bugs. For example, the ref.onDisconnect() api call will not always fire, leaving fragmented data in your db. Long story. Don't use firebase for anything that will be used in production

I know I'm a little biased since I wrote the library, but we use Firebase in production and it works just fine for us. Auth, real time, scalability, and security out of the box is why I love Firebase. Not saying any other option is bad, I've just had plenty of success with Firebase.

Plus their team is awesome ^_^ It's always a pleasure working with them and their community!

I use firebase in production. I am glad I did. It has removed a huge chunk of problems I would have had to worry about.
