Firebase is a backend-as-a-service (BaaS) platform that is built on Google infrastructure. The traditional app development process requires writing both frontend and backend software. Firebase service came up with many tools and features for backend solutions and allowed you to focus on the front-end UI and functionality. Firebase consists of software development kits (SDKs), which allow mobile and web developers to access cloud functionality securely, and reliably. It helps to build better apps and grow successful businesses in the short term.
