With users demanding more of their mobile phones every year, developers bear the burden of having to do everything at once — from building REST APIs and a backend to handle them, to crafting seamless mobile experiences. Firebase lets you focus on building the features that set you apart from the competition as opposed to all the infrastructure supporting them. The “develop” products in Firebase aim to eliminate the need for custom backends by providing authentication, databases, and storage. Once you’ve shipped your app, the “stability” and “grow” products help you catch errors in production, analyze your users, and find ways to optimize your their experience.

This presentation will give a brief overview of the Firebase platform and dive deep into a few core products with real-world examples to light the way.

Alex Saveau is a firebase expert who has worked directly with Google on implementing their new technologies. Please join us to see his excellent presentation and learn how to get the most of the new tools Firebase makes available to application developers.
