You bring up a great point. One absolutely can use us as a firebase alternative. We have a few customers using us with lambda and container services directly on their favorite cloud provider in just 2 locations for high availability of their apps.

The edge computing position is intentional in that we think the edge is a way to build globally distributed apps and apis. Our goal is to make as simple to build and run an app in 25 regions as it is to build an app against say firebase or dynamodb.
