What to consider when developing mobile apps
summary
Conference data shows 51% of mobile devs earn ≤$500/month while 29% earn ≥$5,000, and 88% of top earners target Android, iOS and web. Practical tooling covers realtime database with offline sync, Cloud Functions (serverless hooks), Cloud Storage, Crash Reporting, Remote Config and Test Lab. Firebase Cloud Messaging claims 1 trillion messages/week with most delivered <500 ms. Real examples: a One Direction livestream backend scales up and down on App Engine affordably; a 100MP image demo serves via Firebase Hosting and OpenSeadragon.
