​
What it is

Firebase provides the core platform services used across the Revive applications:
  • Firestore for operational data
  • Cloud Storage for file uploads
  • Firebase Auth for user identity
  • FCM for push notifications

​
Why we use it

Firebase is the primary system of record for the Revive platform and enables real-time client experiences.

​
Data flow

  • revive-api uses the Firebase Admin SDK for privileged access.
  • revive-admin, revive-dashboard, and revive-mobile use Firebase client SDKs.

​
Owner repo(s)

  • revive-api
  • revive-admin
  • revive-dashboard
  • revive-mobile

Relevant modules/endpoints

  • revive-api/src/lib/firebase/index.js

​
Operational notes

  • Treat Firestore schemas as shared contracts across all clients.
  • Keep migrations and backfills in revive-api when possible so all clients converge on the same data model.
