Firebase development
A backend you do not have to operate — excellent for getting a mobile product live quickly, with a known ceiling.
App platform
Chosen per project
Maintainable handover
Firebase removes an enormous amount of early work. Authentication with phone and social sign-in, a real-time database that syncs across devices, push notifications, crash reporting and analytics — all without provisioning or maintaining a server.
It is genuinely the fastest route to a working mobile product. The trade-off is worth knowing in advance: Firestore’s querying is limited compared with SQL, and costs are driven by document reads, so a careless listener can become expensive at scale.
What we build with Firebase
Mobile apps needing authentication and push quickly
Real-time features — chat, live tracking, collaborative editing
MVPs validating an idea before investing in infrastructure
Apps where operating a backend is not worth the overhead
Where it fits — and where it does not
Good fit when
Speed to a working product is the priority
Real-time synchronisation is a core feature
Phone-number authentication is needed, as it often is in India
The team has no appetite for server operations
Consider something else when
Complex reporting and multi-collection queries
Read-heavy workloads, where per-read pricing adds up
Products likely to need to leave the platform later
What Firebase replaces
The value is not any single service but the fact that one SDK covers work that would otherwise mean several systems to build and operate.
Authentication
Phone, email and social sign-in.
Firestore
Real-time document database with offline sync.
Cloud Functions
Server-side logic without a server.
Firebase project
One SDK, one console, no servers to run.
Messaging
Push notifications to both platforms.
Storage
User uploads with access rules.
Crashlytics
Crash reporting and analytics.
How we work with Firebase
Security rules as code
Firestore rules written, reviewed and tested with the emulator — they are the entire authorisation layer.
Read-shaped data
Documents modelled around the screens that read them, since queries cannot join.
Cost control
Listener scope and pagination designed deliberately; unbounded listeners are the usual cause of a surprise bill.
Exit awareness
Business logic kept out of client code so the platform can be left later without a rewrite.
Our typical Firebase setup
| Concern | What we use |
|---|---|
| Database | Cloud Firestore, modelled around read patterns |
| Authentication | Phone, email and social providers |
| Server logic | Cloud Functions for anything untrusted on the client |
| Security | Firestore rules, tested with the emulator suite |
| Messaging | Firebase Cloud Messaging for push |
| Monitoring | Crashlytics and Performance Monitoring |
Frequently asked questions
For mobile apps and early-stage products, yes — authentication, real-time sync and push are genuinely strong. As data and reporting needs grow, the query limits and per-read pricing often justify moving the data layer elsewhere.
Mainly by document reads, writes and storage. Costs surprise people when listeners are unscoped or a screen re-reads a collection unnecessarily. Designed carefully it is inexpensive; designed carelessly it is not.
Data exports cleanly, but any business logic written into the client has to be rebuilt. We keep logic in Cloud Functions or a service layer precisely so that migration stays possible.
