Google To Kill Its Developer Platform Fabric in Mid-2019, Pushes Developers To Firebase (venturebeat.com)

An anonymous reader writes: On Apple's iPhone day this week, Google announced it is killing Inbox by Gmail. But that's not the only service that day the company confirmed it is shutting down: The mobile app development tool Fabric is also going away. Firebase, Google's mobile and web application development platform, is swallowing Fabric and all its features. Incidentally, both Fabric and Firebase were once separate companies: Google acquired Fabric from Twitter in January 2017 and bought Firebase in October 2014. Now the company is merging the former into the latter, ending support for Fabric in mid-2019.

Actually Fabric has some really nice tools. But it looks like this is just changing the web interface and location, rather than EOLing actual functionality.
