I just created a new firebase database for a personal project a couple months ago. They recommend using firestore now, but as far as I can tell there is nothing stopping you from using firebase and it still works fine. This seems to be the type of deprecation he is advocating for. Similarly, there was tooling released to upgrade Cloud SQL versions: > In 2016, we started offering Second Generation instances to Cloud SQL customers. Second Generation instances offer improved performance, availability, and storage capacity. In October, 2018, we released a tool for upgrading First Generation instances to Second Generation. On January 29, 2019, we deprecated First Generation instances in favor of Second Generation. I think maybe Steve's past experiences from within Google are causing him to project the same behaviors onto GCP products, when it doesn't seem to be the case. Though, admittedly I did get bit by the Python 2 issue as well.
