Firebase alternative: plan your backend costs
If Firestore reads, Cloud Functions and file traffic dominate your bill, revisit the backend architecture. Compare a fixed resource budget with migration costs and the Firebase capabilities your app needs.
Identify the workflow driving your bill
Firestore can charge for document operations, storage and transfer. Live listeners and repeated queries can affect read volume. Inspect invoices and queries first; caching, paging and a better data model may be a smaller change than migration.
What changes with a fixed resource model?
Planned Uygulama Cloud packages offer monthly TRY prices for CPU, RAM and disk scope. This does not provide unlimited or equivalent features. Implement Auth, realtime and offline behavior in your backend and budget external services and operations.
Keep the Firebase parts that work well
FCM, Crashlytics and some analytics tools can be no-cost products; we do not invent competitor fees for them. Consider moving only the database or backend workflow driving costs. A hybrid setup need not remove every SDK at once.
Do not decide from user count alone
Two apps with the same active users may have very different query, media and realtime loads. Enter a current before-tax TRY invoice in the cost planner and compare hosting, external services, operations and one-time migration. Uygulama Cloud does not yet allocate live customer resources.
- Measure reads/writes, connections, file downloads and function load separately.
- Pilot one API workflow first.
- Document SDK gaps and rollback.

Common questions
Is this always cheaper than Firebase?
No. Firebase may suit apps within free quotas or highly dependent on ready SDK features. This page evaluates an alternative architecture with a fixed resource budget.
Can I keep the same SDK calls without changes?
No. Uygulama Cloud is not a Firebase API / SDK compatible drop-in. Data models, authorization and client workflows require migration.
