I'd think you'd use a service like Firebase in much the same way people outsource IT infrastructure to the cloud. Eventually you reach a scale that it pays to bring the infrastructure in house. That might/might not happen with your product. Also, there's a lot of products where you're not going to care about 95% of the data in a few years anyway - trendy games maybe? Anyway, I'm intrigued about the idea around Firefbase for allowing people to quickly start executing on their ideas and focus on what seems to matter a lot these days, the front-end. I'm also appreciative of the AngularJS bindings....will definitely make me check this out...
