What exactly can be replaced with DeepstreamHub if your are using Firebase right now?

[wolframhempel]

deepstreamHub's records can be used instead of Firebase's realtime db/data-sync part, deepstream's events are a replacement for their lately added PubSub capabilities. deepstreamHub does request response as well while Firebase offers integration with numerous Google services.

The core differences are in the way deepstreamHub structures its data (small, related documents with independent lifecycles rather than one big data tree), its speed and open core

Ok, so this is really a replacement for Firebase realtime database, which is 1 of >25 services that Firebase offer nowadays. Right?

[wolframhempel]

that's true - Firebase is pretty much a Gateway to google's cloud and add-platform. deepstreamHub is an alternative to Firebase core (or what Firebase used to be pre Google acquisition)

[Sujan]

Thanks.

(Still looks good!)

I've recently talked with Wolfram about this, but currently I use Firebase mostly with the Firepad library, Deepstream is missing:

* a better presence story * a better story around adding data to a list and subscribing to changes to specific parts of it
