Thanks for the interest! The questions you are asking are very valid. Let me address them one by one: 1. We are evaluating an open source strategy, but currently don't have plans to open source it. There are couple ways we're addressing this. First, in an event of a closure of the platform we commit to open sourcing it, just like Parse did.

Thanks so much for your comments.

8base was founded after having spent decades in enterprise software and feeling the tremendous pain associated with designing, hosting and supporting multi-tenant SaaS. Our product is significantly differentiated from Firebase today but we expect that over the rest of 2019 we will diverge further and address some of the major pain points that exist in the market.
We will be coming out Beta in the next few months but we already have some great logos building on the product and paying us real revenues. We are also well funded.
