I cover this briefly in my talk today: "Migrate to Firebase" [1]. Google Cloud Platform gives you massively scalable & robust building blocks at the IaaS and PaaS level. You can use these to do just about anything as long as you have the time and expertise. Combining building blocks to follow best practices isn't always trivial, so Firebase offers the next layer higher in the stack. With Firebase you can mix and match pieces that integrate together to be a turn-key backend. We also offer additional services to help you make your app successful once it's been built. Firebase and Google Cloud Platform play nicely together and we've made sure you can mix and match the pieces you need. E.g. Firebase Storage lets you use Firebase Rules to secure Google Cloud Storage. The new server-side APIs for Firebase are authenticated with the Google's IAM policies. The two teams are partners and we're excited to be working together. 1. https://events.google.com/io2016/schedule?sid=b4641ff7-0bef-e511-a517-00155d5066d7#day1/b4641ff7-0bef-e511-a517-00155d5066d7 https://events.google.com/io2016/schedule?sid=b4641ff7-0bef-...
