Wait till Google axes Firebase with no warning

How many times can devs be burned, are we all masochists or just not have any memory of the last project that offered all this

I don't understand all the firebase and parse clones. They are not significantly better than firebase and they all entail vendor lock-in. The only real alternative is couchdb which unfortunately lacks document level read permissions (and filtered replication wastes storage) and still requires you to have an additional minimal server for the signup and passwort reset process.
Masochists, no?
yes, edited
