I think the difference for Firebase, and contradictory to what happened with Parse, is that Google is pretty invested in cloud database offerings through Google cloud. My company doesn't use Firebase anymore (though we briefly did while building our MVP), but we would consider it again if the situation was right.
- DougN7 10y agoI think you mean "(at the moment) Google is pretty invested in...". I'm finding I don't trust other companies any more, even those with the best intentions. I'll use them as long as I have an option to switch away to an alternative. If there is no alternative without a rewrite, no way...
- ben_jones 10y agoI don't know. Sure Google has axed a lot of projects, but how many have they axed the size (and investment) of Google cloud? Just on HN you'd think they have hundreds of people on it just from the "-source work on google cloud" comments.
