Answer 1

Firebase was acquired by Google and now makes available many tools and features (Cloud Messaging, Authentication, Realtime Database, Storage, Hosting etc...) If you are looking for a service that store and sync app data in realtime, the Realtime Database it's for you. Realtime Database: "A cloud-hosted NoSQL database. Data is stored as JSON, synced across connected devices in milliseconds, and available when your app goes offline." . Firebase provides SDK library for Android, iOS and Web (Javascript). In addition makes available a REST API interface and, as Robert Love said in previous post, Firebase4Delphi (I wrote it) library provides access to the REST API in Delphi. Here there is an example of how to use library.

Answer 2

There is an open source project called Firebase4Delphi. It provides access to the REST API in Delphi.
