Firebase at Cube: build, grow and optimise in one platform
One platform, multiple functions
Firebase offers a wide range of features, such as databases, hosting and authentication. Yet we consciously choose to keep those components in-house through our Data Management Platforms (DMPs) and hosting partners. This way, we retain more control, can better respond to our customers' needs and ensure scalability and flexibility.
What we do deploy within Firebase:
Firebase Analytics - this is linked one-to-one with Google Analytics and allows for in-depth analysis of user behaviour and data-driven choices.
Crashlytics - in some cases we use this for error detection and quality monitoring. We often combine this with Sentry, depending on the application.
Push notifications: send instant messages to users for engagement, updates and important notifications.
Data & insight with Firebase Analytics
With Firebase Analytics, organisations get clear insight into the usage of their applications. Because it is integrated with Google Analytics, data can be easily translated into dashboards and reports. This makes it easier to optimise applications and make decisions based on facts rather than assumptions.
Ensuring quality with Crashlytics
Crashlytics helps identify errors and performance issues. Although we do not deploy this as standard, it can be a valuable addition in specific situations to monitor the stability of an app. We use Sentry for many projects, but Crashlytics remains an option where it adds value.
Staying up-to-date
We make sure that all Firebase dependencies are kept up-to-date and that new releases or improvements are included immediately. This keeps the technical basis of applications stable and secure.
Scalable and reliable
Firebase runs on Google Cloud's infrastructure. That means automatic scalability, strong security and global availability. Whether an app grows from a few hundred to millions of users, Firebase supports this without the need for complex server management.
How Cube helps with Firebase
Cube helps organizations deploy Firebase effectively in the areas where it delivers the most:
Setting up and linking Firebase Analytics for insight into user behaviour
Using Crashlytics where it adds value for quality monitoring
Integrating push notifications: we store Firebase push tokens in our database and send notifications via an API call to Firebase, reaching users in a targeted and reliable way
