We've been integrating more and more Firebase into our projects. It's saved a lot of time since Firebase provides both native and web implementations of many of the services that we would otherwise waste time implementing ourselves, such as auth, storage, analytics, and messaging. The funny thing is that it's been sort of a gateway drug into the Google Cloud Platform. After dipping your toe into the Firebase Realtime Database, you start using Firebase Cloud Functions and Firebase Storage, which steers you toward Google Cloud Functions and Google Cloud Storage. Before you know it you've switched entirely from AWS to GCP AWS really needs to step up their game in this area to compete with GCP. Hopefully this project is a start.
