I'm a developer of an app on Firebase. I really like the current iteration of Firebase but it's definitely languishing compared to what's happening at AWS. Firebase is great for our use case as it handles auth easily and has sort of a JSON-put API as well as support for blobs via cloud storage. https://getpolarized.io/ https://getpolarized.io/ ... if you're interested. Anyway. This keeps me up at night. Google has a history of just flat out ignoring products and then killing them. They're not TOO bad in cloud but they're really getting their ass handed to them across the board. Microsoft is taking their lead in cloud and Amazon is at least 5 years ahead of Google. I think we're going to look back at 201 and realize that this is the year Google started dying. They're failing on Youtube with advertisers angry at them. Android developers are pissed on the constant platform changes and abuse from lack of customer support. Just last week I spent about half a day trying to implement chrome extension inline installation on my site only to find out that they killed that feature six months ago but didn't update their documentation. The chrome extension store developer console is a joke. Right now I'm asking for "all permissions" for our extension as I need to inject a header in an HTTP response for CORS. So we're under auditing for every update. This includes ASSETS! So if we update an image in our chrome extension we have to wait a WEEK for them to re-audit our app even though the binary didn't change. Something is seriously wrong at Google and they need to fix it ...
