Configuring Firebase

Firebase has a different structure for storing data compared to the databases that I have tried before.

According to Google Documentation

"All Firebase Realtime Database data is stored as JSON objects. You can think of the database as a cloud-hosted JSON tree. Unlike a SQL database, there are no tables or records. When you add data to the JSON tree, it becomes a node in the existing JSON structure with an associated key. You can provide your own keys, such as user IDs or semantic names, or they can be provided for you using childByAutoId."

It has more information on the structure in their documentation which the link will be provided in the resources section below.

The webpage has a very well design surprisingly and I can tell just from the menu there is a lot of tools for data analytics

Firebase also emphasises a lot on security.

I spent quite a bit of time figuring out the firebase and configuring it. Resulting in the below
