While I feel better when Google acquired FB, I still would like the ability to switch away from FireBase (costs, China firewall, etc). I couldn't find something like a 'database abstraction layer' I had with SQL. Thought about writing a store-FireBase interface, then I discovered GraphQL & GraphQL cloud dbs....

FireBase's analytics are very strong though, would be on top of list if I wanted to do something outside GraphQL again.

Hi Tom! We really like how easy it is to get started with Firebase or Parse, but like you mentioned, we're convinced that GraphQL is the future of APIs. That's why we're building Graphcool (https://www.graph.cool/) which is a Serverless GraphQL Backend. Here is a short tutorial on how to get started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SooujCyMHe4
