Ya, we love Firebase! Use Firebase functions heavily and i've been very pleased. That tied with redux works so smoothly. It's a different way of thinking about things but I find it so much easier to maintain and reason about than your conventional rest service.

Couple things I wish it had:

1. Ability to `keepalive` certain functions. Cold start is real. We have gotten around this via app engine cron that triggers certain functions.

2. Schedule them on cron. We have gotten around this using app engine.

If curious, this is what we are building off of Firebase (and React native) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bunch-group-video-chat-games...
