We are happy to welcome two Firebase engineers coming over to tell us about the latest updates directly coming from the Firebase Summit in Madrid. Talk 1 Firebase is Google's mobile development platform for Android, iOS, and the web. In this session, you'll learn recent changes to Firebase that are specifically targeted towards building large-scale applications with complex development teams. By the end of this session, you'll see how you can take advantage of the power of Firebase in your app right now. (45 min.) About Jacob: Talk 2 Developing feature-rich apps often requires integrating with heterogeneous backend systems. Firebase and Google Cloud provide several features that make such integrations simpler. We'll explore how to access Firebase data and user accounts from your existing backend systems. We'll also demonstrate how to develop new serverless components in different programming languages to add new capabilities to your apps. You will learn how to manage your app's user accounts, respond to critical application events, and enrich Firebase data from backend components deployed in environments like App Engine and Cloud Functions, as well as environments that you maintain and control. (45 min.) About Hiranya: After the talks there will as always be some time to network and chat. We are looking forward to meet you all and have an interesting evening. P.S. This event happens in cooperation with our Android chapter: https://www.meetup.com/GDG-Hamburg-Android/events/263609080/
