Firebase is Google's app development platform — a backend without building one from scratch. Real-time databases, authentication, file storage, hosting, push notifications, analytics, and more. Focus on features instead of managing servers. Free Spark plan is generous. Pay-as-you-go Blaze plan scales with usage.
A STOA consultant can help you evaluate these tools based on your specific business needs and walk you through implementation.
Talk to STOAFirebase is best for small businesses that have a developer on staff and want to build a mobile or web app without managing servers. You get a lot for free — authentication, a real-time database, and hosting — which is a huge advantage when you're watching costs. The downside is that it's a technical tool, so if you don't have a developer, it won't do you much good.
