How do I integrate Firebase into my API workflow?

Use Firebase’s SDKs or REST APIs for data storage, user authentication, and real-time updates. This can replace or augment a custom backend for faster development.

What are the advantages of using Firebase for backend services?

Firebase simplifies deployment, handles infrastructure, and provides real-time capabilities. Its suite of services speeds up development and can significantly reduce operational overhead.

How does Firebase handle security for APIs?

Firebase enforces security rules for its Realtime Database and Firestore. These rules define who can read or write data, allowing granular control over user access.
