Google recently killed an important firebase feature around cross platform in-app links, not raise prices, no
KILL IT.
It’s a feature depended on by tons and tons of customers, that was a far bigger shock for me than google domains, atleast domain infra is designed with migration in mind usually (dns not included)
But google killing of a vital feature[1] of firebase (with no google alternative provided) made me shit scared on if I should integrate with more of their products.
They also randomly jacked up prices of sms authentication exponentially in a day without any major notice and caused a ton of people to get thousands of dollars in bill increase suddenly [2].
Stay away from google is a good idea unless playing russian roulette at work is your hobby.
Every product there is one manager’s ambition for promotion away from being killed and re-invented
