I don't see any benchmarks showing this as "faster." Seems like a pretty serious claim.

From the Firebase JavaScript SDK, I can do one thousand individual gets with a 3.4k payload at 1-2ms each. http://jsfiddle.net/katowulf/8wkon62c/

Mileage varies, of course, but I'd love to see a benchmark I can run side by side that can beat those numbers. I can't even get close with a simple GET, which returns in 86ms.

direct benchmarks are something that Firebase' Terms and Conditions make hard to do

Benches just aren't meant for this type of analysis.

Two different engines doing two different things.

Benches are for recording "personal best" stats, not "laps at the public pool". I.e. Testing against self and not others.
