CodeMetrics vs. Firebase
CodeMetrics
CodeMetrics shows you the cognitive complexity of your JavaScript and TypeScript code. If the complexity is too high, you know you need to refactor or simplify.
Firebase
Google's Firebase is an entire app development platform that's packed with features.It comes with storage, cloud functions, monitoring and, of course, user authentication. The free tier comes with 50,000 MAUs. Beyond that pricing start at $0.0055/MAU and goes down to as low as $0.0025/MAU as you scale to millions of users. Firebase authentication supports email and password auth, phone auth, magic links, two-factor authentication and social identity providers - mainly Google, Google Play Games, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Twitter, GitHub and OAuth access tokens.

I love this extension and use it on a daily basis. I honestly feel kind of lost without it.

Frequently Asked Questions
CodeMetrics is specifically designed for analyzing the cognitive complexity of JavaScript and TypeScript code, making it a valuable tool for developers focused on code quality and maintainability. In contrast, Firebase is a comprehensive app development platform that offers a wide range of features including storage, authentication, and cloud functions. If your primary need is to improve code quality, CodeMetrics would be more useful, while Firebase is better suited for overall app development.
Yes, Firebase offers a robust user authentication system that supports various methods such as email/password, phone authentication, and social identity providers. CodeMetrics, on the other hand, does not provide any user authentication features as it focuses solely on code analysis. Therefore, if user authentication is a priority, Firebase is the clear choice.
CodeMetrics is a free extension for analyzing code complexity, making it cost-effective for developers looking to improve their code quality without any financial investment. Firebase, while it has a generous free tier, incurs costs based on monthly active users beyond that limit. Therefore, if cost is a primary concern and your focus is on code analysis, CodeMetrics is more cost-effective, while Firebase may be more suitable for full app development needs.
CodeMetrics is an extension for Visual Studio Code that measures the cognitive complexity of your JavaScript and TypeScript code. It helps developers identify complex code that may need refactoring or simplifying.
