Firebase: Syncing Data between Clients

Firebase is a cloud service that automatically synchronizes data between clients and with their cloud servers. It frees developers from worrying about how their data will be communicated and stored, and allows them to focus on their own application logic. Apps built with Firebase can be written entirely with client-side JavaScript, update in real-time out-of-the-box, are inherently scalable, and interoperate well with existing services.

"Firebase is a scalable real-time backend. What that means in layman terms is it's like Dropbox for your applications data. It really let you build great real-time apps without knowing anything about the backend," explains James Tamplin, founder & CEO. "With Firebase you can build anything. The sky is really the limit."

Andrew Lee, co-founder & CTO says, "We consider ourselves to be a NoSQL database. The trend with NoSQL is people figured out that there are certain types of operations that are very difficult to scale. When we designed our API we only allow you to do things that scale well. The API has been designed from the ground up to scale leaner with size."

Firebase is designed so developers can build great apps quickly without the hassle of managing servers, creating a scalable, real-time backend for your web apps.
