Google has announced that they've acquired a new cloud database company, Firebase. The Firebase team will join Google's Cloud Platform developers in an effort to make development for mobile devices even easier.
Firebase exists to allow developers easy ways to keep data synced between mobile applications and web sites and apps, which can be a pretty tricky and difficult task otherwise. By bringing this technology under Google's cloud platform fold, it should help speed up development for mobile apps as it gives developers one less thing to worry about.
For current Firebase developers, improvements should come to the service soon. For Google Cloud Platform customers, the improvements should kick in immediately.
