Hi Mark, I don't think it would be a good solution with the latencies to and from the server your running from in mind. This is less of a problem is your app is only mainly used in one region.
I recently went to a Firebase event, and it seems a lot more fitting. It also allows the user to see it's own changes real-time, and provides several authentication options, and has servers world-wide.
