Moreover, its very well-organized and well-trained speakers make the talks attractive and informative. For instance, the Firebase extension is one of the new features that is still under alpha during this conference. I find it really amazing and useful from a developer’s point of view. Thus, you should definitely try it out if you are using Firebase in your application!
It’s another interesting thing about the monitoring and altering feature that Firebase provided. Concluding, streamline services that Firebase provides are really easy for developers to ship their app faster and without anxieties.
