Overall Satisfaction with Firebase
As manufacturers of electronic equipment interconnected through the IoT Cloud, we needed a robust backend technology that could easily scale as our user base grew. The solution that we needed was to include a real-time database as well as the possibility of executing functions in the cloud according to that database received the data of our clients, for example, sending push notifications.
- Increase in real time the processing capacity according to the demand.
- The realtime database is surprisingly fast running efficiently on Android and IOS.
- Although the functionality of the real-time database is complete through code, the functionality of the WEB console is limited.
- In the case of cloud functions, although there is a method of testing operation, its implementation is not very practical, and programs must be downloaded to run on the local PC; being a platform in the cloud, it would be great to be able to test functions from the WEB console directly.
- Realtime database.
- Cloud Functions.
- Fast development on all operating systems involved.
- Being a system in the cloud, maintenance and updating costs are minimized compared to a structure with its own servers.
Although there are other backend platforms that could have provided us with a solution to our project. The way of grouping the solution in FIREBASE, atomizing in the same project the database, cloud functions, authentication, push notifications, etc., has given us a clearer picture of what would be the correct path to achieve the objective.
