I graduated college at the end of the year. I did Systems Analysis and Development, and there I had programming class for mobile devices, more specifically for Android. In class the teacher taught to develop data persistence over a PHP API with Mysql database, basically the API received requests via POST and returned a JSON. My TCC was all done in this scheme.
Now I’ve started developing a professional app. I’m using the same data persistence strategy. But since I’m going to work with the signature system, I started to realize that it wouldn’t be so safe even using the recommendations (https, Mysql prepare statmant and variable validation rules in PHP) and it’s also a bit complicated and laborious.
I then started a search to find other methods. I found the firebase database. I fell in love! Simple and robust, not to mention integrated into the ecosystem gives Google. I’m getting used to and learning a little more about the concept of Nosql.
So, is it a good choice to switch the API system to firebase? Or better refine the API and continue the project with it? Just to complement, I like to follow Google’s standards.
I wanted the opinion of someone experienced in the matter.
