If you know what Firebase is, you know that it’s a very unique platform. Through its simple and easy-to-use API, together with the great set of functionalities and arguably fair pricing, it’s the go-to choice for anyone developing new mobile or web app that requires the power of serverless infrastructure.

With these thoughts in mind, one could think - why we even need a Firebase alternative? Well, probably the most compelling reason for that would be to keep the competition going, but also to have better control over your data. Although Firebase is pretty secure, it’s still a closed-source service and so, if you don’t want to trust Google with your users’ data or implement client-side encryption, then you’d most likely want to roll “a Firebase of your own”.

If so, you’re lucky, as in this article, I’d like to present you with 3 very compelling open-source Firebase alternatives that you can host on your own!
