Launching Beeline with Firebase Realtime Database, Authentication and Functions

on YouTube ↗47m

" summary

A cycling hardware product and native iOS/Android apps use Firebase to sync routes and user data to the device over BLE, with auth via Firebase Authentication, realtime storage in Firebase Realtime Database, server-side indexing/aggregation in Cloud Functions, and security rules authored in Bolt and validated with Bolt+Targaryen tests run on Travis CI for automatic deploys. The result is an offline‑capable system serving about 9,000 users, costing roughly €50–60/month and working reliably in production.
