The title is a bit ambiguous. From my understanding, Google (Firebase) acquired Fabric from Twitter (not necessarily "joining"). Fabric is one of the top dev tools I use for iOS. I wonder what kind of change is in store...

I think they're saying "joining" because > Fabric will join Google's Developer Product Group, working with the Firebase team.

  I think you're right but it's weird how this post is coming from the Firebase blog not a main Google products blog (is there one..?). I guess it makes sense...

    I would think the "main Google products blog" is https://blog.google/ https://blog.google/

      That's more of a consumer facing blog it feels like. Maybe here? Not sure. https://developers.googleblog.com/ https://developers.googleblog.com/

Yes, you're right - it is an acquisition. Jeff Seibert clarifies in his tweet https://twitter.com/jeffseibert/status/821780349164388356 https://twitter.com/jeffseibert/status/821780349164388356

  More specifically, Twitter is carving out (i.e. divesting) Fabric and selling it to Firebase, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Google (or perhaps selling it to Google directly).

    Firebase is really just a Google brand at this point, not a separate company.

      sounds like @mbesto is referring to the changes in cap table/shareholding structure rather than the 'vibe' of the deal

Also a big user of Fabric, really hope this means only good things for Fabric users.

  I know it won't happen but I wish they'd stay with the dark/Twitter blue theme.

    You could probably hack something in with Stylish
