So here's what I have for Firebase pros and cons so far:

Pros:

• Autoscaling built-in
• Can start for free (only need to start paying once we hit 50 connections)
• Robust APIs for Javascript (including several frameworks like Angular), iOS, and Android
• Built-in support for authentication services like Facebook, Google, and Twitter
• Declarative Security Rules model allows us to enforce read/write privileges and data validation throughout the tree

Cons:

var appURI = "https://flickering-fire-3648.firebaseio.com/";

var imRef = new Firebase(appURI);
var uid = null;

var auth = new FirebaseSimpleLogin(imRef, function(error, user) {
  if (error) { console.log(error) }
  else if(user) {
    uid = user.uid;
    userRef = imRef.child('users').child(user.uid);
