That's great! But it does make sense why google and FB would be taking different paths here.

As much as I was disappointed with FB's decision on Parse, I can also understand the reasoning behind it and I actually think it was the right decisions for the company. In contrast, Google is playing in the cloud service vertical and investing in the future of Firebase is totally aligned with that objective.

Though it does seem kind of odd that facebook isn't playing in that space. I'd be curious to know their reasoning for not launching a competing product there.
