Can I use firebase to store objects?

Question

I am a novice android programmer, and I am developing my first android application. I'm trying to figure out if firebase is suitable for my needs. My app looks like this:

• users add the product to the database by filling in the product fields

• products are stored in the database as objects with simple fields (numbers and strings)

• users search for a product in the database to compare its fields according to different criteria

• users edit (update) product fields

• users have their own accounts

My priority is the ease of use.

My question is:

1. Is Firebase suitable for my needs or is there a more suitable solution?
2. Do I understand correctly that I am interested in the Cloud Storage product?

Answer 1

You could use firestore for this. Although full-text search won't work, you can use algoia/elastic to do full-text search.
