Google Firebase offers an active backend as a service (BaaS) for building dynamic web and mobile applications, but it has disadvantages. This course gives learners a fundamental understanding of how Firebase Security Rules leverage extensible, flexible configuration languages to define what data your users can access for Realtime Database, Cloud Firestore, and Cloud Storage.
