Firebase - Basic
Firebase is a mobile- and web application development platform, backed by Google, to help developers deliver richer app experiences. Firebase manages its own infrastructure with a nice set of tools to simplify the workflow of the developer by providing them with development kits and an online dashboard. These toolkits are interconnected, scalable and integrable with third party software to overcome complex challenges with standard building blocks.
Firebase Features
- Real-time Database − Firebase supports JSON data and all users connected to it receive live updates after every change.
- Hosting − The applications can be deployed over secured connection to Firebase servers.
- Authentication − We can use anonymous, password or different social authentications.
Firebase Advantages
- It is simple and user friendly. No need for complicated configuration.
- Firebase offers simple control dashboard.

- There are a number of useful services to choose.
Firebase Limitations

What's New
In Madrid, the Firebase team overwhelmed us with a new set of tools for building better mobile and web apps. Firebase Extensions is one of those. This tool allows developers to save time on everyday repetitive development tasks. Whether you want to resize images, translate text, send emails or shorten URLs, Firebase built a great amount of solutions that you can easily deploy to your projects.
At The Reference, we like to thoroughly test our apps before releasing them. We already automate this process using our own set of tools, but Firebase announced App Distribution as an alternative solution. This module provides an easy and flexible way to distribute pre-release versions before they end up in the Google Play and Apple App Store. Firebase already offered a great set of tools for machine learning with ML Kit, but now there's more. On-device object detection and tracking and translation have been added, along with AutoML Vision Edge which allows you to train and publish your own image classification models and use them on-device or in the cloud. Luckily, the Firebase team didn't forget about web developers. Analytics, Remote Config and Cloud Messaging are now available for web.
