Firebase & Database Integration: Scalable Solutions for Manufacturing
This module focuses on mastering Firebase and Firestore, Google's powerful backend-as-a-service platforms, for building scalable and real-time manufacturing applications. You will learn how to leverage Firestore for flexible NoSQL data storage, Firebase Authentication for secure user management, and Firebase Functions for serverless backend logic, enabling efficient data synchronization and robust application development.
Key Learning Outcomes:
- Understand the core components of Firebase and how they integrate to form a complete backend solution.
- Design and implement data models in Firestore for manufacturing data, such as production metrics, inventory levels, and sensor readings.
- Integrate Firebase Authentication for secure user sign-up and login in manufacturing applications.
- Develop serverless functions with Firebase Functions to automate tasks, process data, and integrate with external systems.
- Implement real-time data synchronization for dashboards, monitoring systems, and collaborative tools.
