Thanks for the shout out, Ben! I sadly have to correct you though: our $300 free trial for all of GCP is time limited to two months. That said, you're right about App Engine and it's free tier, it goes a long way! Since Firebase is built on Google Cloud, you can easily still use Firebase for the "front end" / client, and serve it up as a json response as suggested. Disclosure: I work on Cloud at Google.
