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 …

We all have agendas; being obvious is a refreshing change.

I'd argue there's a maintenance cost to consider as well. Functions are "serverless" from the dev point of view, where the dev needs to maintain App Engine services, scaling strate…

A lot of the join functionality can now be simulated by using functions to effectively create views or map reduce data to distilled output. We've got a lot more to come on this fro…

Was that intended to be humor? DynamoDB is to Firebase as a CSV file is to a personal computer.

Hang in there, you've got a year to figure out what's next. They're slipping out the door with good style at least.

Sigh. There should be a Snopes for Hacker News.

And yet, if they made a cheaper iPhone, I'd probably buy it without much thought about how it was made. Oh technology, thy double-edged sword of irony.

I agree in every respect, but also hesitate to say lives "worse" than our own. Different indeed, but I don't have an inkling of how to understand any of the varied Chinese cultures…

"Everyone knew people who had them, knew how awful they were..." I wonder how you substantiate these claims if you've never been part of that generation? While I'm not against vacc…

We still love our amazing community and don't have any plans to change this. We'll work hard to stay accessible and active.

So, it's still a work in progress. I don't think this is a surprise. > Based on the typical work schedule, activity levels, and metabolic rates of astronauts on the International S…

And yet here we are...

And it uses Firebase, my favorite real-time service! Awesome stuff gents.

And one advantage to this is that it anything that can view a web page can reach it. I don't have to ask my grandma to install an app on her phone to get a picture on her desktop c…

Maybe it would be appropriate to ask him why he was against it before deciding he's anti-LGTB. I'd imagine that, being an intelligent and capable human being, he deserves the consi…

I doubt that vehement hatred of 7 million people's views will sway them to the cause either. It's just a bit hard to convince people to respect your beliefs while dancing atop thei…

Great, insightful article for techies; very interesting insight into your business strategy and R&D. Thanks for sharing!

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world (or the ocean). Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” May Ms. Mead be with us always.…

A great looking tool! Can't wait to try it out on a few hundred projects :)

I wonder how Steam reviews will factor into the ratings on steam?

I guess that all depends on when Amazon starts accepting bitcoins...

Le sigh. "Regrets concerns the reports may have caused" but yanno, not the oops, privacy didn't matter to us. LG: The place where customers are still numbers and lawyers get to wri…

If you want to write code instead of back ends, this is the tool for you. Don't waste a minute dealing with servers and databases and real-time technologies. Just get Firebase and …
