    Study Notes

    Firebase Overview

    • Firebase is a client-side app development platform developed by Google
    • It integrates with many Google tools, like ads
    • It's a collection of around 20 products
    • Products are categorized into build and run categories

    Firebase Build Category

    • Managed Infrastructure: Protects backend resources and verifies traffic origins
    • App Check: Protects backend from abuse and ensures only authorized users access
    • Hosting: Provides secure, global hosting for static and dynamic web apps
    • Authentication: Simplifies user login and onboarding using built-in UI and security methods (email/password, social logins, etc.)
    • Firestore (NoSQL): Flexible database with scalability and cloud hosting supporting real-time updates, offline use, structured data with documents and collections
    • Real-time Database: Optimized for simpler use cases needing fast real-time synchronization across devices, using JSON tree structure
    • Cloud Storage: Provides secure and robust file storage synchronizing between app and cloud
    • Cloud Messaging: Sends targeted push notifications for user engagement using unique tokens for targeting
    • In-app Messaging: Displays contextual messages within the app, such as prompts, based on user actions or app state

    Firebase Run Category

    • Crashlytics: Real-time crash reporting tool to identify and fix stability issues in the app
    • Google Analytics: Free tool to track app usage, user behavior, and engagement
    • Cloud Messaging: For sending targeted push notifications
    • In-app Messaging: Displays contextual messages in-app based on user actions or app state
    • Remote Config:Allows for updating app behavior without code updates (new versions).
    • A/B Testing: Compares different app variations to determine better performing ones. 

    Firebase Console

    • Google provides various "consoles" to manage different aspects of Firebase, including the main Firebase console
    • Consoles are webpages for controlling various settings
    • Firebase also has a dedicated console to manage the products
    • There is a section for viewing analytics in the console

    Analytics

    • Real-time data updates on device usage, demographics and app engagement data once every 24 hours
    • Provides a dashboard allowing developers to view this information

    Firebase Storage

    • Provides cloud-based storage for files accessible by app, handling networking and syncing

    Firebase Setup and Use Examples

    • Examples of adding Firebase to Android apps to handle authentication, data access, storage and use of existing SDKs.

    Firebase Database (Realtime Database & Firestore)

    • RealtimeDatabase: A JSON tree-based, real-time, cloud database
    • Firestore: A NoSQL, document-based, scalable database well-suited for various data structures, with query capabilities.
    • Setup and use examples for connecting and interacting with these databases provided, including adding data and retrieving it within the app.
