Come on, they did a great job creating traction for what was a really novel concept. A lot of Backend as a Service offerings tend to be hosted versions of existing solutions or "it's like - but for" products - but Firebase needed to be communicated from scratch (and I'm saying as a member of https://deepstreamhub.com/ https://deepstreamhub.com/ (shameless plug) trying to overcome similar challenges.)
- stemuk 10y agoReally like the fact that deepstreamhub doesn't have a strong vendor lock-in like Firebase. I feel like it would ease many developers minds if they offered some sort of open source version, if only for the sake of being able to change your stack. The option to export your users data in a RethinkDB compatible manner would probably do the job too.
