In the age of Single Page Applications that work almost without any backend I am missing a BaaS - Backend as a Service, that would handle users (sign up, sign in, forgot password), their data (save some user generated data, load user generated data) and payment processing at the same time. Right now you could try to combine Kinvey with Stripe or Cognito with PayPal but it is not easy at all.

Full disclosure: IBM Cloud Identity Services is my current employer / project.

There is a concept of IDaaS - Identity as a Service that covers the first part of your request (sign up / identity lifecycle, authentication / single sign on, user self-service for password resets, etc...).

This is one such offering, there's a good overview of the features here: http://www-03.ibm.com/security/cloud/cloud-identity-service/

Also, I recommend looking into the IBM BlueMix cloud platform: https://console.ng.bluemix.net/catalog/

I think things are heading towards what you're describing, but picture it more as a catalog of skeleton backend apps built on top of pieces like you called out, as a starting point for different types of projects.

Firebase for everything but payments.

Can you talk about some of the challenges integrating kinvey and stripe? Seems like if you can setup a webhook on kinvey for stripe to call, that's about all you'd need?

so it seems userapp.io is not very active, is the project dead?
