Ah, thanks. The fold looked like a complete page to me!
Regardless, I still find the potential lock-in costs and issues incurred with a proprietary datastore like FireBase to be a total and complete deal breaker.
For truly production-grade systems, relinquishing control over your data stores does not seem like a viable path to better reliability or control for any business with significantly large swaths of data.
If there were a compatible open-source equivalent with easy import functionality for a FireBase dump, I'd be singing a different tune.
Am I missing or overlooking something here? I get the use case for a small project or app, but for mission-critical production, it doesn't seem like a good idea.

As an aside, what happens with FireBase when you need more than 30GB of storage in a single app?
You switch to the Inferno plan (scroll down! :P) and then on to Enterprise plans (or just pay overages, though I'm not sure if they apply to disk?)
