Title

Time is Priceless. Use Firebase for MVPs.

Alternative title: Kubernetes will kill your product.

Description

When we start building a new product we usually spend a lot of time building and maintaining plumbing code and infrastructure that is hard to evolve and maintain and significatively delays the development and validation of the new product.

By using third party services for the core functionality (auth, database, subscriptions, notifications, configuration) we can focus on the parts that provide value and iterate fast to try to achieve the primary goal of the MVP that is finding product-market fit.

One of the mature services providing many of those basic pieces is Google Firebase and this talk will be a practical presentation showing how to build a mobile product from scratch including authentication, flexible storage, real time updates and push notifications using Firebase.
