What is Firebase?
• Firebase is a backend-as-a-service (BaaS) platform developed by
Google that provides a suite of cloud-based tools and services to help
developers build and manage web and mobile applications. It offers a
variety of features that allow developers to handle authentication,
databases, hosting, cloud functions, analytics, and more, without
needing to manage backend infrastructure.
Key Features of Firebase

• Supports email/password, phone number, Google, Facebook, Twitter, GitHub,
and other authentication providers.
