Think Mobile

Google's VP of engineering, Joerg Heilig, told attendees at Cloud Platform Live "we are working very hard to make Google the best possible cloud for mobile application development."

It's a multi-device world, and Google wants partners to offer enterprises solutions that extend beyond the office and throughout their mobile workforce.

Much of the technology making that possible comes from the acquisition of Firebase, which its cofounder, James Tamplin, described to attendees as a platform for real-time development of mobile applications.

"Firebase and Google Cloud Platform are building the best developer platform in the world," Tamplin said.
