Why businesses use Firebase
It lets apps launch quickly without building every back-end feature from scratch. Firebase is especially useful for authentication, real-time updates, and sending push notifications to iOS and Android.
How Firebase works
The app connects directly to Firebase services through Google's SDKs. Data in Firebase databases syncs to devices in real time, and security rules control who can read or change what.
