Firebase is a toolset to build, improve,
and grow your app, and the tools it gives
you cover a large portion of the services
that developers would normally have to
build themselves, but don’t really want to
build, because they’d rather be focusing
on the app experience itself.

4. Firebase
Firebase feature includes things like analytics,
authentication, databases, configuration, file storage,
push messaging, and the list goes on. The services are
hosted in the cloud, and scale with little to no effort on
the part of the developer

5. Why Firebase has Gained Popularity?
5
In the initial years, Firebase was successful over many of its other
alternatives. But, it started losing popularity when it was compared
with MongoDB. Though MongoDB and Firebase offer different
functionalities and have a different purpose to serve. The previous one
is a database management system and the latter one is a model to
sync, real-time data on the cloud and manages the user engagement
for the clients’ mobile app.

6. What is The Use of Google
Firebase?

1. Firebase manages all data real-time in the
database. So, the exchange of data to and fro
from the database is easy and quick. Hence, if
you are looking to develop mobile apps such as
live streaming, chat messaging, etc., you can
use Firebase.

7. What is The Use of Google
Firebase? (Cont.)

2. Firebase allow syncing the real-time data
across all the devices: Android, iOS, and the
web without refreshing the screen

8. What is The Use of Google
Firebase? (Cont.)

3. Firebase offers integration to Google Ads,
AdMob, DoubleClick, Play Store, Data Studio,
BigQuery, and Slack, to make your app
development with efficient and accurate
management and maintenance

9. What is The Use of Google
Firebase? (Cont.)

4. Everything from databases, analytics to
crashing reports are included in Firebase. So,
the app development teams can stay focused
on improving the user experience

10. What are The Benefits
of Firebase?
1. Create Application without backend server
2. No need extra money spent for backend server
3. Sync real time data in the application
4. Quick display data in the application
5. Faster then any backend web services

11. What are The Benefits
of Firebase? (Cont.)
6. No SQL database so it is more faster
7. You can provide any social networking login with very
few lines code
8. Push notification, Analytics, Crash reports
9. Cloud storage

12. What are The Major Features of
Firebase?
12
1. Firebase Cloud Storage
2. Firebase Realtime Database
3. Firebase Authentication
4. Firebase Analytics and Crash Reports

13. Firebase Cloud Storage allows the mobile app users
to store their photos and videos on the cloud.
Google brought Firebase Cloud Storage in
integration with Firebase SDK, which allows the
users to store the file within a fraction of time in
the cloud.

14. Benefits of Firebase
Cloud Storage
1. Automated pause and resume functionalities for
uploading and downloading the files offline and
online
2. This saves users time and improves the bandwidth
3. Firebase Cloud Storage integrates with Firebase
Authentication to offer a secured environment for
the end users

15. Firebase Realtime Database
15
Firebase comes up with the Firebase Real-
time Database which is hosted on a cloud
and is a NoSQL database. Hence, it allows
you to store and sync JSON data, real-time.
That means ideally the best feature for the
apps having live streaming, messaging,
GPS, etc.

16. 1. Works not just online, but even when the users
are offline to store the changes and sync it
whenever the users come online
2. Firebase Real-time Database integrates well
with the Firebase Authentication that helps
build simple and intuitive security model for the
developers like you

17. 3. You don’t need to use servers to build the apps
because the Firebase Real-time Database
allows it with mobile and web SDKs
4. Real-time data syncing is possible across any
device with the Firebase Real-time database

18. Firebase
Authentication
Authentication has been always crucial since we used to
develop using C, C#, and C++. Firebase brings a highly
secure authentication system that improves the user
experience while they sign-up and sign-in.

19. Benefits of Firebase Authentication
19
1. Write no more than 10 lines of code to build the app
authentication using Firebase
2. Firebase Authentication allows sign-in using email & password,
phone authentication, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Github login,
and much more
3. FirebaseUI can help you customize the UI of the users signing up
and signing in
4. Firebase Authentication is super secure as it has developed by
none other than Google’s sign-in team

20. Benefits of Firebase Authentication
(Cont.)
20
1. Write no more than 10 lines of code to build the app
authentication using Firebase
2. Firebase Authentication allows sign-in using API: email &
password, phone authentication, Google, Facebook, Twitter,
Github login, and much more
3. FirebaseUI can help you customize the UI of the users signing up
and signing in

21. Google Analytics specifically designed for Firebase.
It offers unlimited reporting up to 500 unique
