I didn't really expect it to be so hard but, to my surprise, the sheer number of available options can really be overwhelming.

I want to make it clear that I am not paid in anyway to promote Google Firebase. I am sharing this because the technology basically addresses all of the features I am looking for for my backend. Let's go through my list again and see what Firebase has to offer for each.
