Ben's Story
How Sworkit scaled with Firebase
Firebase allows apps to scale quickly and easily. Sworkit, a customized workout app for multiple platforms, has a team of only three developers, but over 10 million users. Using Firebase, they were able to scale their infrastructure and manage their data analytics without issue.
"Because Firebase is so well integrated with Google Cloud Platform, we have all the tools that we need to process our data and gain insights to run our business more effectively. We use BigQuery as our data warehouse, and Firebase for all of our infrastructure. Everything is in the same ecosystem. That enables us to spend more time doing what we really love, which is creating features for our users."
