Cloud Provider Equivalencies

Firebase is a Google platform for building mobile/web apps with managed backend features (auth, databases, hosting, functions, messaging, analytics). On AWS, Amplify is the closest integrated developer experience for web/mobile backends (often paired with Cognito, AppSync/DynamoDB, S3/CloudFront, and Lambda). On Azure, similar capabilities are assembled using App Service/Static Web Apps plus services like Azure Functions, Cosmos DB, and Azure AD B2C. OCI does not have a single Firebase-equivalent suite; comparable solutions are typically composed from OCI Functions, API Gateway, and databases.
