Migrate from Firebaseto Modern Infrastructure
Replace Firebase with Flowless authentication and a modern database like PostgreSQL, SQLite & others for better performance, flexibility, and cost control
Why migrate from Firebase to Flowless?
Better performance, full control, and modern database flexibility
How it works
Modern architecture with full control
β Validated requests hit your database with full SQL/query power. No Firebase limitations!
Super Simple for Developers
Less code, more features. Here's how easy it is:
1. Login with Flowless (get session token)
import { createFlowfull } from '@pubflow/flowfull-client';
// Create client instance
const api = createFlowfull('https://your-instance.pubflow.com');
// Login
const result = await api.auth.login({
email: 'user@example.com',
password: 'SecurePass123!'
});
// Session is automatically stored and used for future requests
const user = await api.auth.me();2. Your backend validates the token (automatically!)
import { requireAuth } from '@flowfull/auth';
import { db } from './db'; // Your PostgreSQL/SQLite client
app.post('/api/create-post', requireAuth(), async (c) => {
// β
Token already validated by requireAuth()!
// You just get the validated user data:
const userId = c.get('user_id'); // Validated β
const userType = c.get('user_type'); // Validated β
const email = c.get('email'); // Validated β
// Save to your database with full SQL power:
await db.query(
'INSERT INTO posts (user_id, title, created_at) VALUES ($1, $2, NOW())',
[userId, req.body.title]
);
return c.json({ success: true });
});π‘ Using requireAuth() from our starter kits or Flowfull. Learn more in the Auth Middleware documentation.
That's it! π
You don't need to worry about:
- βToken validation (Flowless does it)
- βSession management (Flowless handles it)
- βSecurity checks (Bridge validation automatically applied)
- βUser data extraction (it's in the context)
Just focus on your business logic!
3. BONUS: Add caching for even better performance
const apiCache = new HybridCache<BlogStats>({
cacheType: 'blogStats',
ttl: 60, // 1 minute
maxSize: 1000,
keyPrefix: 'blog'
});
app.get('/api/blog/stats', async (c) => {
const cacheKey = 'global-stats';
// Try cache first
let stats = await apiCache.get(cacheKey);
if (!stats) {
// Expensive query
stats = await db.selectFrom('blog_posts')
.select([
db.fn.count('id').as('total_posts'),
db.fn.sum('views').as('total_views')
])
.executeTakeFirst();
// Cache for 1 minute
await apiCache.set(cacheKey, stats, 60);
}
return c.json(stats);
});β‘ Performance tip: Learn how to implement HybridCache efficiently in the HybridCache documentation. Our starter kits include it by default!
