So how is this particular feature priced? Is it set up so the analytics consumes cloud function CPU?

Re: Firebase Predictions Beta
#52So in how many years is Google going to shut down Firebase? It was an acquisition and they don't tend to keep those running for long.
This knee-jerk-ism is tiresome. There are plenty of products that Google has retired, and plenty of products that Google has continued to invest in. Just like any other big corporation. (acquisition still running, top of my head: Google Docs, Android, YouTube, DoubleClick)
No, it's justified. They earned that reputation.
The problem is the google isn't forthright about it's plans. They just let some products languish forever without any communication. If you're lucky (like a firebase user) you will get a giant code dump of new features after 18 months of radio silence. If you're unlucky (like a google app engine standard user) then maybe they will announce a shutdown. It could go either way - you will never know what's coming. Yes you will get time to migrate away, but you're not really treated like a partner.
At some point they said google code wasn't getting new features because they couldn't find anyone who wanted to work on it. WTF? That's what employees are for right? I cannot understand this company. Why waste peoples time with projects that are just rounding errors next to adwords.

Well it’s so common Wikipedia has a dedicated category for them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Discontinued_Google_a...
The list forgot "Google Desktop Search" - One of my favorite google product. I like it so much that I even found a old copy to install on windows 10. 6 years after it is discontinue and still much more useful and much faster than windows 10's search bar.

#56Great to see Google entering this space!
My company, Gyroscope Software (getgyroscope.com) does prediction, cohorting and timing of callbacks into mobile games and apps, with plugins for iOS and Unity. We've built a real-time prediction engine to make this happen; we also use some neat tech to get us enough data from the clients to do fast machine learning without the developer having to do any instrumentation, data collection, or other data wrangling - we do this automatically. Happy to answer any questions anyone has.

That’s because it’s a list of discontinued acquisitions. Google Desktop is in the list of discontinued Google software: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Discontinued_Google_s...

It was probably an unstaffed 20% project all along.
Re: Firebase Predictions Beta
#59What kind of revenue should you be earning from a popular app on Firebase to justify the cost of using Firebase (for an indie developer). It looks great, but I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it. I'm currently researching open source solutions such as Parse.
Give Set http://set.gl a look, we are currently in beta. I'd love to hear more about what you are trying to do to see if we can help.

Quickoffice and Picasa seem to be in both lists, by the way. Technically the second list should almost be a superset of the first list, I suppose.
