That's very nice of them. However I'd have to read all of firebase's small print before i would consider using it. Does their SLA guarantee data availability even if google dcide to spin it off or sunset the way they did with google+, reader and such?

Does it matter what their fine print says if you have to bang your head against a buggy automated bot process to get support things done? Switched over to MS appcenter recently(they added support for cosmosdb + authentication). Their customer care is so nice by comparison
Former Firebase PM: firebase.google.com/terms has all the details.

TL;DR: minimum 1 year deprecation policy, and you've got access to the data at any time (e.g. do a backup and get everything as JSON, or download an entire store bucket and transfer it to S3).
