What are the benefits of Firebase?

Firebase simplifies application development with its comprehensive backend services, real-time database, hosting, and authentication, enabling developers to build and deploy web and mobile applications quickly.


Is Firebase a database or backend?

Firebase serves as both a backend as a service and a real-time database. It offers a suite of services for building and managing mobile and web applications, including real-time data synchronization, user authentication, serverless computing with Cloud Functions, and cloud hosting.


Is Firebase SQL or NoSQL?

Firebase primarily offers a NoSQL database called the Realtime Database and Cloud Firestore. These databases are designed to store and sync data in a flexible, JSON-like format, making them suitable for real-time applications, collaboration features, and scenarios where data structures may evolve over time. Firebase also provides the option to integrate with other SQL and NoSQL databases or services when needed, but its core databases are NoSQL in nature, offering scalability and real-time synchronization capabilities.
