I've been using Firebase for 4 months and the stability has been pretty great. At least, no worse than I expect for a service this new. I had maybe 4 or 5 times where my site was slow or didn't load and never lasting more than an hour. Pretty decent uptime for 4 months or so. Note, I don't use AngularFire.

AngularFire is alpha quality, I'm definitely dumping it. On server stab it's not abjectly unusable but it's definitely not confidence inspiring. I had 4 or 5 times server problems lasting for hours in 1 week (though I think that should've been a 1 time thing), numerous other slow down events throughout my 2 months using it though.

We made a series of changes with version 0.3 of angularFire. It's nowhere near production ready but we're hoping its a bit more closer to beta than alpha :)

I urge you to give the new version a spin, and I really look forward to your feedback!
