Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Firebase development cost?

Development costs vary based on project scope, complexity, features, and specific requirements. We provide custom quotes after understanding your unique needs and goals.

Is Firebase better than traditional databases?

Firebase excels for real-time applications, rapid development, and automatic scaling. It's ideal for mobile apps, collaborative tools, and projects requiring real-time updates. Traditional databases are better for complex queries, existing enterprise systems, and applications requiring full SQL functionality. The choice depends on your specific use case, team expertise, and scalability requirements.

How long does Firebase integration take?

Firebase integration typically takes 2-8 weeks depending on project scope. Basic setup with authentication and simple database operations can be completed in 2-3 weeks. Complex projects with custom cloud functions, advanced security rules, and multiple service integrations may require 6-8 weeks. Timeline depends on feature complexity, data migration needs, and integration requirements.

Can Firebase handle large-scale applications?

Yes, Firebase is designed for large-scale applications and automatically scales to handle millions of users. It's backed by Google's infrastructure, offering 99.9% uptime SLA, global CDN distribution, and automatic load balancing. Major apps like Duolingo, The New York Times, and Alibaba use Firebase for production applications serving millions of users worldwide.

What's the difference between Firestore and Realtime Database?

Firestore is Firebase's newer, more advanced database with better querying, automatic scaling, and multi-region support. It uses a document-based structure with collections and supports complex queries. Realtime Database is simpler, with a JSON tree structure, and excels at real-time synchronization. For new projects, Firestore is recommended due to its enhanced capabilities and performance.

Do you provide Firebase security setup?

Yes, we provide comprehensive Firebase security implementation including security rules configuration, user authentication setup, role-based access control, and data validation. We ensure your Firebase application follows security best practices, implements proper user permissions, and protects sensitive data according to industry standards and compliance requirements.

Can you migrate my existing app to Firebase?

Yes, we offer complete Firebase migration services for existing applications. This includes data migration from SQL or NoSQL databases to Firestore, authentication system migration, API endpoint conversion to Cloud Functions, and gradual feature migration to minimize downtime. We ensure data integrity and provide comprehensive testing throughout the migration process.
