If I were making straight HTTP requests I don't see what benefit I would be getting from Firebase at all. I'm not necessarily thinking of a wildly different conflict resolution scheme, but the fact that it is fixed means that if the behaviour is not quite what I want, I either have to just deal with it, or move to another system. In particular, when there are two conflicting writes to a string field, in scenarios where data loss is not acceptable, I would prefer to tell the user about it than just have the last write win. I haven't run a sync service before, but I'm not really clear on what makes it require a huge ops team compared to any other high scale system. Obviously piles of people are using it and are happy with it, it just seems like a pretty narrow solution atm.
