I use Firebase as my primary BaaS in addition to some custom scripts to run Stripe payments and send push notifications hosted on Heroku as well as Cloudinary to host large assets. I love Firebase, especially the newest update. It's quick, realtime, has an extremely generous free tier and is easy to learn. It's flexible enough to be used in most applications and I've built everything from social media type apps to finance apps to messaging. As with every BaaS there are some things you just can't do without custom solutions but Firebase is pretty darn wonderful, especially if you just want to throw up a quick project.
