Can we call firebase as a server?

464 Views Asked by At

I am using firebase for storing data through android application. I want to architecture diagram for that application, so can I call the firebase as a server? I am trying to use client server architecture, so for the server, I write firebase as server. Is this correct?

Depending on how you use Firebase Realtime Database in your app, I'd indeed either visualize it as a server or as a database.

I find the latter especially useful if you still want to explain the nature of the app talking directly to a cloud-hosted database. Visualizing it as a server makes it easier to brush over that, so is a good option in cases where that is needed.
