I think services like firebase are a very scary thing. Too much dependence on one vendor, too much black box magic, too much logic that is beyond control. And services like this contribute to general dumbing down of software developers. We're heading towards world of script kiddies where html and js rule and all complex logic is handled and controlled by service providers. Is it a good thing? You can deliver fast, but in the long term is it worth it?
