Cloud Pub/Sub works only between servers -- it doesn't seem like there's server-to-browser push functionality with this, correct? Also, this is explicitly meant for static topic, whereas the old Challen/XMPP stack supported ad-hoc and stateless topic/channel selection and a push from server to client Javascript. Seems that Firebase is the only thing that covers that aspect of it, though it's stateful and requires knowing when to kill off a piece of state so as not to have unbounded growth. Is that a fare assessment?
