We will absolutely not be dropping support for any platforms. We'll support what our customers want to use, whether that's Ember, or iOS, or React.

...until Google decides to pull the plug on Firebase in 6 months to 2 years.
Isn't it more likely their realtime functionality will be integrated or merged with whatever WebSocket initiatives Google has running?
Look at their Google Play services: Android and iOS get realtime, and web is relegated to using a REST API: https://developers.google.com/games/services/
To me that's a huge hole in their services currently that needs to be remedied as the realtime web becomes more pervasive.
My comment was only referring to Firebase as a standalone product/service.
If Google discontinues it yet incorporates the technology into their own products/platforms that is still a loss for developers who use/would have used Firebase.
