Google support
Google acquired Firebase in Oct. 2014. This gives Firebase a degree of trustworthiness in their service and future support since they are backed by such a large company.

One command deploys and rollbacks
The content is deployed immediately through the Firebase CLI. Once it's uploaded, the content is served immediately. If you have made a mistake, you don't need to re-upload a new version, through the Admin dashboard you can easily rollback to a previous version.

No hosted version
Kuzzle has no hosted version. In order to use it, you have to install it to a remote machine. This can be cost-effective but it also adds overhead because you will have to take care of the hosting and backend infrastructure yourself.

You only get to pay hosting

Very outdated Unity SDK
The current Unity SDK is several years old and doesn't seem to work with recent Unity Editors (2021.1 as of this writing). The task based infrastructure is baked into a DLL and thus not adjustable. You might be able to get it to work through NuGet packages, though.

No vendor lock in

Easy to use
Google App Engine is very easy to use. All you need to do is install the SDK (which in itself is easy as well, and the documentation is very heplful) and run the command needed depending on the type of project to deploy it. For example, to deploy a golang application, you run golang deploy inside the project folder and it will be automatically deployed.

Increases application speed considerably
Google App Engine integrates with Google's CDN out of the box and it distributes your application's assets through that, increasing loading speed considerably.
