[OP / Firebase founder here] We certainly aren't trying to be disingenuous with the 'serverless' title. The piece of code on GitHub allows you to build WebRTC functionality that doesn't require you to run a signaling sever. (or, any server if you want to go that far) Though, yes, we still run and maintain the Firebase servers to make this happen.
Sorry for any confusion. I'll add some explicit language in the README on GitHub.
Thanks for checking out the code.
- ozten 14y agoThanks for clarifying! WebRTC is really exciting from a P2P perspective, which is why I and others are sensitive about the terminology. This is a really cool use of Firebase, to have zero discovery servers to deploy for a working WebRTC setup. We're headed into so many new fronts with web based technologies, that the terminology can get muddled depending on your perspective. Keep rocking it!
