I’ve built mobile back ends and web apps using Firebase and I love it. I moved over after Parse shut down and it just keeps getting better and better. I have definitely struggled with the need to denormalise data (storing multiple copies of the same data feels so unnatural) but once I embraced the mindset of “optimise for reads” I got my head around it.

It’s definitely my favourite tech service (#fanboi !) and I just hope it continues to have its own identity within Google Cloud.
