Firebase
Google's BaaS chosen when a mobile app MVP needs a database
What it is
Google's bundle of backend services — database (Firestore, Realtime DB), authentication, hosting and more.
How to apply
- In Rapid B2C App MVP it's mentioned as the DB you attach "when needed" — the MVP starts without a backend, and you add it once you actually need data.
- Compare its document-oriented BaaS role with the PostgreSQL-centered Supabase before choosing an MVP data model.
- See Database & Cache for the exit-decision and migration paths around managed backends.
- iOS build and release lead on to Xcode and the Apple App Store.
Limits
-
The source doesn't cover which Firebase product you use, or the free tier and costs.
-
It's a passing mention in the source, so this page is short. It'll be expanded as more usage emerges.
