6. Why Firebase?
Benefits
Firebase is a complete
backend solution for
your application and
has many useful tools
including firestore,
analytics, testing, etc. It
also has the best
documentation which
makes it more
appealing for devs.

database called firestore.
No sql databases store different
documents where each document will have
it’s own pairs of keys and values
(dictionary).
Google takes care of the traffic and scaling

12. So we looked at what is firebase and what features it has. Now it is time to
see how do we implement/link our firebase project with our flutter project
so that we can use it’s features.
First we need to visit the firebase website and register via our gmail
account. After registering you have to go to firebase console where you
can setup your new firebase project.
Once you complete the setup process you have to
