Me trying to explain Firebase 🔥

Firebase is a Google-owned platform that should help the programmer with a way to have better facilitation into their projects, Firebase also provides a variety of tools and means of products that should help you as a Researcher | Programmer | Analyst.

A Brief History

Back in 2011, before Firebase was Firebase, it was a startup called Envolve. As Envolve, it provided developers with an API that enabled the integration of online chat functionality into their website.

What’s interesting is that people used Envolve to pass application data that was more than just chat messages. Developers were using Envolve to sync application data such as a game state in real-time across their users.

This led the founders of Envolve, James Tamplin and Andrew Lee, to separate the chat system and the real-time architecture. In April 2012, Firebase was created as a separate company that provided Backend-as-a-Service with real-time functionality.

After it was acquired by Google in 2014, Firebase rapidly evolved into the multifunctional behemoth of a mobile and web platform that it is today.

Tools

Firebase lets you build more powerful, secure, and scalable apps, using world-class infrastructure using.

• Cloud Firestore: is a flexible, scalable database for mobile, web, and server development from Firebase and Google Cloud Platform. It is a NoSQL document database that lets you easily store, sync, and query data for your mobile and web apps — at a global scale. It’s supporting for Android, iOS, and Web Platform.
• ML Kit: is a mobile SDK that brings Google’s machine learning expertise to Android and iOS apps in a powerful yet easy-to-use package. Whether you’re new or experienced in machine learning, you can implement the functionality you need in just a few lines of code. There’s no need to have deep knowledge of neural networks or model optimization to get started. On the other hand, if you are an experienced ML developer, ML Kit provides convenient APIs that help you use your custom TensorFlow Lite models in your mobile apps. It’s supporting for Android and iOS platforms.
• Cloud Functions: Firebase lets you automatically run backend code in response to events triggered by Firebase features and HTTPS requests. Your code is stored in Google’s cloud and runs in a managed environment. There’s no need to manage and scale your own servers. It’s supporting for Android, iOS, C++, Unity, and Web Platform.
• Authentication: provides backend services, easy-to-use SDKs, and ready-made UI libraries to authenticate users to your app. It supports authentication using passwords, phone numbers, popular federated identity providers like Google, Facebook and Twitter, and more. It’s supporting for Android, iOS, and Web Platform.
• Hosting: is production-grade web content hosting for developers. With a single command, you can quickly deploy web apps and serve both static and dynamic content to a global CDN (content delivery network). You can also pair Firebase Hosting with Cloud Functions to build and host microservices on Firebase. It’s supporting only Web Platform.
• Cloud Storages is for object storage service built for Google scale. The Firebase SDKs for Cloud Storage add Google security to file uploads and downloads for your Firebase apps, regardless of network quality. You can use our SDKs to store images, audio, video, or other user-generated content. On the server, you can use Google Cloud Storage, to access the same files. It’s supporting for Android, iOS, C++, Unity, and Web Platform.
• Real-time Database: This is a cloud-hosted NoSQL database that lets you store and sync your users in real-time. The Real-time Database is really just one big JSON object that the developers can manage in real-time. It’s supporting for Android, iOS, C++, Unity, and Web Platform.
