What you can do with Firebase

Setting up Firebase manually for your mobile app analytics can be a bit time-consuming. First, you need to decide and map out the events you want to track and analyze. Then comes the decision – which libraries and SDKs to use, followed by installing and configuring them on your mobile platforms. You will then need to work with the Firebase SDK methods to specifically work with the events in a manner that is compatible with Firebase.

Before RudderStack, instrumentation of the new ‘destinations’ for the marketing website required either Google Tag Manager or actual code deployments, thus, doubling our efforts. Now, we can just add the destinations in RudderStack and skip all the manual deployments.

Our previous vendor’s model kept our data in their playing field, and the pricing limited what we could to track. We wanted to own our data in our warehouse and RudderStack simplified our customer data pipeline setup and security.
