Firebase and Wordpress
Hello, I wanna learn to build websites especially backend-side using Firebase, but I also wanna start using Wordpress as CSM for my website, are both compatible together easily? Is Firebase made so that you don't need Wordpress? I'm not sure how both would work together..

no, wordpress uses sql - more specifically, mysql or mariadb
it can use sqlite with a plugin
that's it
you might do some front-end things with firebase (like users and stuff) but the rest will have to be through php
and in the end, it will be an hassle
firebase is a BaaS product, Backend as a Service. It's entire point is to not need a separate backend anymore
ohhh okay so Firebase pretty much replaces the backend and does it for you
yes
well, if by "does it for you" means "lets you configure it"
well I mean you don't have to create the SQL database yourself, nor the authentification system and security
it's like a framework for backend? somewhat?
with built-in functionalities
it's a BaaS
it's its own thing
oh
but yeah I heard you don't get to do SQL, PHP and any other stuff you need to deploy
backend as a service, is a service for providing web app and mobile app developers with a way to easily build a backend to their frontend applications.
basically, firebase will replace wordpress
