Building a custom backend from scratch is time-consuming. In September 2019, I delivered a GDG Presentation walking through how developers can use Firebase to provision secure backend services in minutes.
This talk focused on creating a production-ready application backend. I walked the audience through configuring Firebase Authentication, Firestore databases, Cloud Functions, and Firebase Hosting.
Key Takeaways:
- Secure Authentication: Setting up email, social, and anonymous login systems.
- Firestore Security Rules: Writing rules to secure data access without backend middleware.
- Cloud Functions: Deploying serverless microservices to handle business logic.
- Static Hosting: Deploying responsive client applications to global CDNs.
