Why together · 01
Why this combo works.
Firebase handles auth, Firestore, storage, and functions natively for mobile. Push notifications are first-class via FCM.
Setup
Use react-native-firebase modules, set up FCM for push, and configure Firestore security rules carefully.
Gotchas
- Firestore queries are different from SQL — design schemas for query shape
- Pricing surprises happen at scale — model reads/writes
- Lock-in is real — migration is non-trivial
- iOS push setup is harder than Android
