Firebase

Do you recommend using firebase for projects with a database and front/back - end code? or is it easier to code it from scratch?

edit: I want to connect with facebook so that users can use it as a fast register/sign in preference instead of doing all the standard procedure sign up sheet and i was wondering if firebase would be a good way to do it with or could i just use some API?

I suggest you try Firebase. I have been using it for a while and really enjoy it! Support is awesome too!
