App backend
Firebase
Firebase is how we stand up auth, real-time data, and push for mobile and web products quickly — without building a backend from scratch.
What it is
Firebase is a set of managed backend services — authentication, real-time and document databases, push notifications, and hosting — that integrate tightly with mobile and web apps.
Why we use it
For products that need to ship fast and sync in real time, Firebase removes weeks of backend plumbing. We reach for it when speed and live data matter more than bespoke infrastructure.
