Hi @BirdMan. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Thanks for the suggestion! Wasp’s starter templates today focus on Wasp’s built-in stack (React/Node/Prisma) and its own auth, with templates like SaaS, embeddings, and todo-ts. There’s no official template for Firebase hosting/services (Auth, Cloud Functions, BigQuery, etc.) in the available templates or docs. [Starter templates]
There is ongoing discussion about improving and expanding templates, but nothing in the sources indicates a Firebase-focused template exists or is planned yet. [Issue 1622; Starter templates]
If you need mobile-first auth via Firebase, note that Wasp doesn’t currently expose an external auth API suitable for mobile apps; community guidance suggested Firebase as an alternative for such cases. [Discord thread]
If you’d like, I can pass this along as a feature request.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

Sorry @BirdMan, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist:
Perhaps try again in 15mins?
why use Firebase? Wasp has all the main Firebase features built in
I am guessing you want to deploy to firebase @BirdMan ? Can you give us some more context, what exatly are you looking for, what is your use case? Thanks!
Oh i did not know that! Coukd you pkease explain hiw wasp replaces biqquery, cloud functions, and how wasp which is not an infrastructure at all rather just a template system for saas handles edge cacheing ? Tyvm
Im not sure what you want me to explain other than id really like a professional polished template like yours tailor made for firebase services
auth is built in, and cloud functions can be replaced with Wasp jobs. for the other stuff you would need to use firebase, but the SDKs should be easy enough to add to opensaas
I was tryign to understand your use case, it help me address the question better, not just the solution you potentially imagined.
But what @Zeke said + Wasp is a framework that has stuff like Auth, Jobs, ..., and open saas is a template for it that brings some stuff already done upront like Stripe/payments, admin dashboard, ... . You can also use some Firebase services from Wasp, but it doesn't make much sense to use all of them as the main thing. Big query for example -> sure, why not, that is quite specific thing.
Im looking for a framework i can use as a comprehensive starter to build a nation wide non profit with seval levels of chapters and user types. It has to be very secure and scalable so i was leaning on using firebase app hosing with the rest of googles services
Wohooo @BirdMan, you just became a Waspeteer level 1!
if you're not planning on using the things wasp is good at, a better solution might be just using firebase backend stuff with a basic react-router frontend
