Flutter allows for efficient cross-platform app development, enabling developers to build visually appealing and high-performance applications for iOS and Android with a single codebase.

When modifications are needed, or bugs are found, changes and fixes only have to happen once in code, before being deployed to both environments.

Is Firebase a database or backend?

Firebase serves as both a backend as a service and a real-time database. It offers a suite of services for building and managing mobile and web applications, including real-time data synchronization, user authentication, serverless computing with Cloud Functions, and cloud hosting.

Is Firebase SQL or NoSQL?

Firebase primarily offers a NoSQL database called the Realtime Database and Cloud Firestore. These databases are designed to store and sync data in a flexible, JSON-like format, making them suitable for real-time applications, collaboration features, and scenarios where data structures may evolve over time. Firebase also provides the option to integrate with other SQL and NoSQL databases or services when needed, but its core databases are NoSQL in nature, offering scalability and real-time synchronization capabilities.

Testimonial

testimonial by Martin Tambucho, Mobile Developer

I love Flutter because it’s a tool that lets you do amazing stuff in a short time, covering all mobile brands, even web and desktop for Mac and Windows. It has almost native performance which make it super smooth. Plus, the community is growing rapidly, and the framework is improving a lot year by year. One of the things I love the most about Flutter is its incredible capability for creating mind-blowing animations.
