Introduction 

• It is a cloud-based real-time database designed by Google. It is a Backend-as-a-Service(BaaS) used for web and mobile applications development platforms which provides to store and sync data in realtime and offline mode. 
• It is also an suite of services easy for writing mobile application. In 2011, James Tamplin and Andrew Lee created Firebase. Later in April 2012, it was launched publically. The first product launched by Firebase was a real-time database. Firebase headquarters are located in San Francisco, California.
•  Firebase is a NoSQL type of database, that stores data in JSON file format. Google firebase lets developers create Android, iOS, and Web applications.
• Firebase's use cases that are included in app development that are real-time applications, built-in chat, custom on-board flowing, content sharing optimized ads, business applications, third-party integration, etc.
•  Firebase is mainly used to build apps in quicker and easier ways, release and monitor the app, and engage the users.
• It provides integration with tools like Google Advertising, Google marketing platform, AdMob, Slack, Google play store, BigQuery, Jira, Datastudio, etc.

• It is used to store the list of objects of data in the form of trees. It also offers control of data in dashboard form.
• The key features of Firebase include authentication, a real-time database, hosting, test labs, and notifications. The other main features include database management, file storage, cloud code, analytics, scalable hosting, machine learning, etc. 
• Authentication is done much more securely. Firebase authentication supports using the password, phone number, and signing with popular identity providers like Google, Facebook, and Twitter.
•  It is supported by various programming languages and platforms like unity, Java, Android, C++, web, iOS, Kotlin, Flutter JavaScript, Objective-C, etc.

 Conclusion 

There are many advancements in technology day by day, although it is the quickest, easily available API for making web or mobile device apps, and provides an end-to-end development environment. Firebase also offers pricing such as Spark and Blaze plans and more storage for data. It also has alternatives like Firestore and many more. The main aim of the Firebase suite is to build, improve and grow better apps. A brief outline of the Firebase real-time database is noted in this blog.
