I do. If I were to attend a hackathon (which I haven't since 2020), I would use Firebase. It's simple and they sponsor every hackathon I've been to, so I get free credits.

That said, if I attend today and ignore sponsorships, I'd actually get DigitalOcean market place deployment of Appwrite. I honestly think it's quicker to get started with, and I like owning my data ;)
