If you are interested in a real-time platform as a service, you
may want to look into firebase
(www.firebase.com).
If socket.io tries to make writing your server simpler,
firebase goes one step further: It provides the
entire server for you, including mechanisms for clients to share and synchronize
data.
firebase provides solutions for web, iOS, and Android.
