What Is Firebase?

How Firebase is useful

When we’re developing a mobile or any other application, there are two parts:

• The frontend is the user interface we have been developing in the course so far.
• The backend handles the data stored in databases.

Often, we require data from the backend to be displayed in the frontend. Different technologies can be used to create a server that provides us with this backend functionality.

Firebase is a service by Google that gives us an easy-to-use backend solution.

Not only does it provide us with a database, but it’s also an API that can be used in our Expo application to fetch this data.

What is Firebase?

Firebase is described as an app development platform that provides a simple and easy-to-use interface to interact with a database.
