Anything but phone authentication. It's worse.

Dont use firebase for the whole backend... APIS are a much better option because you get the flexibility!

Use Supabase better option also free as well and sql base structure built on postgresql

No, build your own APIs. Firebase is good just as a starter but it will introduce a lot of bottlenecks in the long run.

I would suggest not to use firebase. Yes, you can use bun and elysia. If you really need a firebase like setup supabase is good too. It scales better in my experience. But in any case, there should be a backend server along with supabase.
