Google is betting on serverless, with products that are very developer friendly.
Firebase and the Firestore NoSQL database just out of beta are awesome products, and they are backed by Google Cloud. The ability to build a serverless application out with nearly no server code, with authentication, file upload and hosting built-in is awesome.
Plus we can have Node processes for any server code that we might absolutely need, like for signing Stripe payments.
