What is Firebase? How to build better app using Firebase?

Firebase is a platform developed by Google for creating web and mobile applications development that helps you build, improve, and grow your app.

Firebase is a toolset to “build, improve, and grow your app”, and therefore the tools it gives you cover an outsized portion of the services that developers would normally need to create themselves, but don’t actually need to create, because they’d preferably be that specialize in the app experience itself. This includes things like authentication, push messaging, databases, analytics, file storage, configuration, and therefore the list goes on. The services are hosted in the cloud, and scale with little to no effort on the part of the developer. Client SDKs provided by Firebase interact with these back end services directly, with no need to establish any middle ware between your app and the service. So, if you’re using one of the Firebase database options, you typically write code to query the database in your client app.

There’s really no limit to the types of apps that can be helped by Firebase products. There are only limits to the platforms it can be used on. iOS and Android are the primary targets for the Firebase SDKs, and there’s increasing support for web, Flutter, Unity, and C++. You should also know there’s an Admin SDK available for a variety of languages, to be used with any backend components. On top of these SDKs, there is a library called FirebaseUI (Android, iOS, web) that gives a lots of helpful utilities to form of development with Firebase even easier.
