I think you're confused between FaaS and Serverless. Serverless is an Amazon service, Firebase is not serverless, however both are FaaS. I'm talking specificall

I think you're confused between FaaS and Serverless. Serverless is an Amazon service, Firebase is not serverless, however both are FaaS. I'm talking specifically about AWS Serverless.

Firebase also offers DBs, storage, and even hosting. I'm confused as to why you say it isn't serverless, AWS's "Serverless" (wow that name...) looks like a suite of existing products advertised under one label. From their splash page it looks mostly equivalent to what Firebase, although it seems Amazon has some functionality that Firebase itself doesn't have (necessitating using the full Google Cloud).

  Nice, thank you for the heads up. Nonetheless, they had about 8 tables in their database when they started getting blocked by the endpoint limit on AWS Serverless, I'm guessing they were far from a thousand endpoints.
