i came from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpiDUAirCXQ
so, basically the title of that video is about google cloud services integration with firebase..
so i want to #AskFirebase , can i use google cloud CDN or CDN interconnect or any other networking medium with Firebase Realtime Database or Firebase CloudFirestore...
i believe that we can create game with Firebase by using the database mention above to sync game state with other players but i heard that the above database service have latency about 200ms which is not so good for real time multiplayer..
any suggestion on how to improve that?

disclaimer: i mention CDN because the service's focusing on reducing latency..

If you're using Unity, I suggest using something like 'Photon' as it has a lot of functionality out of the box.
If it's for something a bit more simple, I would suggest Socket.IO for sending and receiving packet very quickly.
