Where can Firebase take your app and business?

Firebase is a NoSQL Cloud-based database provided by Google, which imports and exports databases in JSON format. Firebase is also open-source and accessible on different platforms, including Android, iOS, C++, and Unity. This back-end-facing service, which specializes in rapidly saving and retrieving data, provides app makers with a wide selection tools with which they can maintain their apps and grow successful businesses (see graphic below):

As reflected in the graphic, the Analytics tool lies at the heart of Firebase's services. The tool offers free and unlimited app usage analytics using a real-time SDK, dozens of pre-made attributes, and plenty of room for app developers to design their own metrics. These features (which span areas including acquisition, app usage, segmentation, and optimization), are all combined on one well-organized dashboard, negating the need for multiple, linked analytics tools. The main goal of Firebase Analytics is to elegantly facilitate deep analyses of user interactions with applications. This allows developers to truly understand how to best optimize their app for maximize user satisfaction, thereby maximizing chances of increasing revenue.
