API Reference

Core Firebase Operations

• batch_update_documents(updates) - Atomic batch document updates
• subscribe_to_realtime_updates(collection, filters, callback) - Real-time subscriptions
• authenticate_user(uid, customClaims) - User authentication with claims
• upload_file(filePath, data, metadata) - Secure file upload
• call_function(functionName, data) - Cloud Functions invocation

Context7 Integration

Best Practices (November 2025)

DO

• Use Firestore for new projects over Realtime Database
• Implement proper security rules for database access
• Use Cloud Functions for serverless backend logic
• Optimize database queries with proper indexing
• Implement proper error handling and retry logic
• Use Firebase Authentication with custom claims
• Monitor performance and costs regularly
• Implement proper backup and recovery procedures

DON'T

• Use Realtime Database for new projects
• Skip security rules validation
• Ignore database performance optimization
• Forget to implement proper error handling
• Skip Firebase Security Rules testing
• Ignore cost monitoring and optimization
• Forget to implement proper logging
• Skip backup and disaster recovery planning
