In firebase is there backend logic or is it all supposed to take place client side? I glanced over it yesterday but I am going with DynamoDB + Sails.js on heroku currently as it seems like the quickest platform to build a backend API for my app MVP.
I have experience in JavaScript and the app is react native but server side code is newer to me so if HN has any wisdom I am looking for development speed foremost with maintainability and performance as a lesser priority.
- paultannenbaum 11y agoI have never used Firebase, but I think they handle the data store and all the ways to access it's data (auth, sockets, etc.). So if you needed some kind of backend logic or task to happen, you would wire a separate backend app that authenticates to the firebase database and then it could read/update/create data.
- myhf 11y agoFirebase has server-enforced permissions and validation. But for complex backend logic you would need to write a bot that watches data being entered and reacts to it.
