Firebase Realtime Database + AerisWeather Integrations

In this exposition, I will talk about the integration of Firebase Realtime Database and AerisWeather.

Firebase Realtime database is a database provided by Firebase which is a platform for developers. It is a cloud based database which allows synchronization across different platforms and devices. It can be used for managing data in real time. The main benefit of using realtime database is that it allows you to update your data from anywhere and make changes in real time without any delay.

AerisWeather is a weather app which provides weather forecast, weather radar and current conditions from multiple sources around the world.

In this section, I will talk about the integration of both of these services. I will discuss how they can be integrated together.

Integration of Firebase Realtime Database and AerisWeather is very easy. In this section, I have discussed how we can integrate these two services together.
