Firebase
What is Firebase
Firebase is a Google's offering. It's a suite of cloud offerings specially designed for building single page progressive applications for web or mobile. It provides you static page hosting (html, css, javascript), no sql database, real time eventing and lot more.
It also provides tolling to run your app locally in emulator and also non prod environments.
It frees you from concerns of scaling or infrastructure management.

To mirror your workflow environments (for example, Dev, Q1, Q2, Prod), we recommend that you create a separate Firebase project for each environment rather than creating multiple sites in a single Firebase project. Generally, you don't want to use production-environment Firebase resources (like customer data in a Realtime Database) in a development environment. Consider using automatic SDK configuration to mirror multiple environments using a single codebase.
