Welcome Firebase to the Google Cloud Platform Team
Today we extend a warm welcome to
Firebase, who is joining the
Google Cloud Platform team.
Firebase makes it very easy for developers to build mobile and web apps that store and sync
data in realtime.
Mobile is one of the fastest-growing categories of app development, but it’s also still too
hard for most developers. With Firebase, developers are able to easily sync data across web
and mobile apps without having to manage connections or write complex sync logic. Firebase
makes it easy to build applications that work offline and has full-featured libraries for all
major web and mobile platforms, including Android and iOS.
By combining Firebase with Google Cloud Platform, we’ll be able to build the best end-to-end
platform for mobile application development. If you’re already a Firebase developer, you’ll
start seeing improvements right away and if you’re a Google Cloud Platform customer, you’ll
find it even easier to create great mobile and web apps. The entire Firebase team is joining
Google and, under the leadership of Firebase co-founders James Tamplin and Andrew Lee, will be
working hard to bring you great new features. Not only will the products you already love
continue to get better, but you’ll also gain access to the full power of Google Cloud
Platform.
At
Google Cloud Platform
Live on November 4, we’ll be demonstrating new Firebase features and integrations
with Cloud Platform. You can join us there in person or you can register to stream online for
free.
If you are looking for more info check out the
Firebase blog. We can’t wait to see what applications you
build!
