I believe we are at a turning point for the future of web apps and servers. After using Firebase and serverless (I hate this term) technologies in the last few, I didn't miss doing all what's said in the blog at all. Need authentication? Just turn the feature on in Firebase and use it. Need storage? Need analytics? Just do the same. The future is bright and we are heading in the right direction. With this, we can get started on our apps with zero configuration and just focus on features.

it depends on the app as Firebase can be quite slow. could still work for rather simple apps though.

This is also very expensive very quickly compared to the mileage you can get running an application on AWS. And if you pick a neat tech provider and it goes belly up (like Parse!) you’re in some real pain.
