4 sourcesOn 3, there is https://github.com/firebase/backbonefire, which is our official library for the Firebase Realtime Database + Backbone. We'd be happy to work with you to add additional web features (Auth, Storage, etc.)
In Firebase gets better analytics, crash reporting and more[Firebase Founder] Hi Justin, we're pretty excited about leaving beta and think it's fairly significant. Building robust infrastructure isn't an easy task and this change is meant to signal that we're ready for primetime. I hope that comes across!
If you're worried about lock-in, I'd first try Firebase along with our AngularJS[1] or Backbone[2] bindings. You don't have to change the way you write your app and can switch Firebase our for another backend easily. We recognize that we're only going to win a developer's trust by building a reliable service with the best tools and fair pricing -- so this is what we're going to do
I'd love to dispel any concerns, please feel free to email me anytime (james at firebase)

In Firebase Leaves Beta TodayYes! Absolutely. A number of people are doing this already. We don't yet have an official binding for Ember, but we do have one for Backbone [1].

Update: There's a user-built binding for Ember here:
