What’s so important about that, anyway?
Oh Google is amazing, so that means that Fabric is becoming part of a great company… Right?
You can call me biased here, but I haven’t really been happy with Google’s latest acquisitions, and I’m not quite sure what to think about their latest acquisition. By the way, you can check a list of Google’s mergers and acquisitions here.
In 2014 Google acquired Firebase, and since then it seems that the development of Firebase cloud platform hasn’t really evolved much, or maybe not as much as I believe it would, or should.
Last year they bought LaunchKit, and as far as I can see, it was solely to shut down their services. I know, they’ve open sourced all of their tools upon discontinuing their services, but it’s still a bummer for the 50k+ developers who were relying on their services.
And throughout 2016 there were rumors about Twitter being acquired soon by a Class A tech company, probably Google. So 2016 was left behind, and Twitter’s plan has been revealed. Although it wasn’t the whole company that was sold to Google (but only their mobile development set of SDKs), it’s still cloudy what is going to be the real future of Fabric.
Time will tell, I guess. But independently of their corporate decisions, I only hope that Felix Krause and his amazing Fastlane still continue to rule this world, alongside all the amazing SDKs that are integrated in Fabric.
