Firebase vs custom backend: when does rolling your own win?

The question is about Firebase .

Answer:

A custom backend is better than Firebase when your application needs unique workflows, custom security policies, detailed integrations, or non-standard business logic that Firebase can't support. While Firebase helps get to market fast with common features, rolling your own backend wins in long-term control, flexibility, and handling very complex or specialised use cases.
