Which BaaS works best for “Vibe Coding” projects — local-first, fast to deploy, and low-cost?

Hey everyone

I m exploring different Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) options for vibe coding projects small but creative builds that start locally and later go live (think quick prototypes, coding agents, or AI-powered hobby apps).

I d love to hear your thoughts on:

  • how easy is it to debug or simulate the backend locally?

  • how smooth is it to go from local to hosted?

  • any gotchas or scale-to-zero tricks to keep costs minimal?

  • functions, auth, storage, DB branching, edge runtimes, etc.
