Serverless Web Applications with Firebase

By Kyle Paul

Elevator Pitch

Firebase is many things and this talk will explore the tools available that it provides. I will cover a quick intro of all tools available, deeper dive into the Firebase real-time database & authentication setup, and finish up with a quick multiplayer quiz (built on Firebase).

Description

Have you ever started building an application and quickly realized that a lot of back-end work is needed? Firebase is a platform that helps you quickly develop real-time apps, grow your user base, and earn more money. Firebase is made up of complementary features that you can mix-and-match to fit your needs without needing to know anything about servers! In this session, you’ll see how using Firebase can help you quickly build out a real-time database with an authentication system that perfectly blends into a web application. With Firebase, we can build a complete application in half the time without any server side code involved.

Notes

I’ve been using Firebase for personal and professional projects for almost 4 years now. I have even built + worked on open source libraries and tools that extend the functionality of Firebase for users world-wide.
