Pros

Increase in real time the processing capacity according to the demand.
The realtime database is surprisingly fast running efficiently on Android and IOS.

Cons

Although the functionality of the real-time database is complete through code, the functionality of the WEB console is limited.
In the case of cloud functions, although there is a method of testing operation, its implementation is not very practical, and programs must be downloaded to run on the local PC; being a platform in the cloud, it would be great to be able to test functions from the WEB console directly.
