Firebase is often labeled as an MVP tool, but when architected properly with clean repository patterns and Cloud Functions, it scales effortlessly to millions of daily requests.

Essential Rules for Firestore Scaling: 1. **Never write raw queries from mobile clients**: Encapsulate complex operations in Cloud Functions. 2. **Denormalize for read speed**: Firestore charges per document read, so optimize document structures for single-fetch renders. 3. **Automate Security Rules testing**: Use Firebase Emulator Suite in your CI/CD pipeline.
