Google Firebase Initial Setup

Serge Dahdouh - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at Les Roches International School of Hotel Management

Everyone uses Google Firebase because it is very easy to set up, run, and maintain. Even if you don't have a lot of experience in coding or the back end, you could deploy the solution in a very short time.

The product's initial setup phase was simple and straightforward.

There is not much my company can do when it comes to the deployment part since our managed service providers use the SDKs provided by Google along with our company's keys for authentication purposes.

The solution is deployed on a managed cloud solution.

The solution can be deployed in five days.

The initial configuration was very easy. The solution has a CLI tool that we can use to connect the application to Firebase. It is called FlutterFire. We can write a few commands, and our application is automatically connected to Firebase. Earlier, we used to configure everything. Now, it has improved a lot. The setup is very easy. It can be done within a few minutes.

It's not straightforward to set up the whole way through. Some of it is easy to use like remote config and web hosting. However, other areas, like cloud functions in real-time on the database, are not easy.

The deployment is quick. You just need one person to manage the process. They are an admin engineer.

For stability, we have a strict testing version process and also production. We have to create two Firebase environments for each of them, and there is no transition between station to production so, which is one limitation of the size and scope.

The deployment process is very straightforward. It's easy. I wouldn't call it complex at all. What I deploy normally doesn't take much time. I don't deploy large blocks of software. I can deploy things in ten minutes or so.

The initial setup of Google Firebase is pretty straightforward.

The solution can be deployed in a couple of days.

If you are a slightly technical person, you can implement the product on your own.

For deployment, you just need to log in and press certain commands, after which the product automatically deploys code into Google Firebase.

The initial installation was easier after FlutterFire CLI was created. It was very useful to integrate the product. Before FlutterFire CLI, it was a little bit harder to integrate the tool into iOS.

In the case of your first setup, if you're not sure what you want to do, it can become a bit of a problem. If you've done something wrong, it's very difficult to get rid of your project. There are some unique IDs that are left behind. So, the initial stages were a little bit difficult in that sense because if you make a mistake, you can't reuse what you have done.

However, once I got used to working with Firebase, it was nice and easy. Firebase is a Google product, but in the beginning, it didn't seem like one. Google is making a lot of changes, which makes us developers make other changes a lot as well.

Google Firebase is quick to set up and relatively easy to install. But it depends on the context, dependent on the growth of the application. For example, if you have a site that's already developed, doing the hosting and configurations, with authentication plugins and more, will probably take anywhere from a couple of days to a week.

NS
Technical Team Lead at AuthentiCode

The solution is not complex. It's very straightforward. It is very easy to import or add. It is a very easy process.

During the first week, we arranged pre-requisites on the Firebase console. We added a package name, and an app name and updated the server file. After that, we downloaded it and add it to our project then ran the project. Everything is automatic. There are also files that we added and are updated. 

The deployment is very fast. It is about five minutes in total. It depends upon the internet speed, of course. Initially, we had to run the app on our device.

We have one or two people that handle maintenance.

A developer has to maintain the upgrades of the libraries and Cadency versions. Whenever we add any feature or something, or if then we have to upgrade the version for different dependencies, we'll have to do some maintenance. The maintenance part involves looking for cracks in the apps.
