Is it possible things will change? Of course. I was just trying to illustrate that, unlike Parse and Facebook, Firebase has a clear relationship with core Google businesses.

We will never be able to fully dispell these worries, but I think there's pretty strong evidence in support of Firebase's prospects. Our developers will have to judge if the value we deliver is higher than the small-but-non-zero chance of it going away.

I certainly think it is, but I'm pretty biased. :)
