Stressfull

Dear Firebase Team,

I’m a beginner developer from Africa, exploring Firebase for my project. Learning to upload images has been a frustrating experience due to the requirement to upgrade to the Blaze plan, even for free-tier usage.

Credit cards are not commonly used in many parts of Africa—they're often seen as a luxury for wealthy individuals. This makes accessing essential Firebase features, even for learning and practicing, a significant barrier for developers like me.

As a passionate learner striving to improve my skills and create impactful projects, I kindly urge Firebase to consider alternative billing models or easier access for beginners in regions with limited credit card usage.

Thank you for understanding our unique challenges and your commitment to empowering developers worldwide.

Best regards,
Leonard
