Firebase
Firebase, similar to the Pangea platform, helps you develop high-quality apps, grow your user base, and focus on providing your users with your unique value proposition. Each feature works independently, and they work even better together. If you are unfamiliar with Firebase and would like to learn more, visit the Firebase site.
In this tutorial, learn how to install and utilize a combination of Pangea provided Firebase Extensions . Firebase Extensions are an easy way to add Pangea services to your Firebase app without the need to write or debug code on your own. Extensions are pre-packaged solutions designed to save development time and quickly deploy Pangea functionality into your applications hosted on Firebase. You provide the configuration parameters, such as authentication tokens, for each extension at install time. All Pangea-provided extensions are open-sourced and built on Firebase and Google Cloud products you already know. Deployment and configuration of each extension are performed in the Firebase console or the Firebase CLI, and once deployed, they require no maintenance.
Each section of this tutorial will focus on a specific Pangea service and demonstrate how to install and utilize the associated Firebase Extension. After completing the first section, Configure a Starter Project, you can follow the tutorial sequentially to implement the complete use case or skip to each section relevant to you. As the Pangea platform's capabilities increase with the addition of new services, this tutorial will also evolve to highlight the new functionality. You can refer to this multi-part series at any time to learn about new Pangea services and how they may help secure an application hosted on Firebase.
