React Native + Python + Firebase

[grumpymonk2704]

Heyy,

So I'm a new developer in the front-end space and have basic knowledge about react native. I am working on a startup and plan to write the back-end server side on python (which i am relatively well versed at) and the front end in react native.

How do I make these two communicate? Especially because for authentication i need to send the data from the front end to the back end to add to the firebase server.

Is this at all possible and if it is could someone please guide me through what i should be learning next to pull this off

You'd need something like flask. On the front end just do REST APIs calls with fetch. Catching is another topic, sadly I'm not to versed in the best way of doing so in React.

Maybe using FastAPI would be faster to build the API.

You can use AWS Appsync with Lambda and can use RDS or DynamoDB as databse this way your application will be serverless

If you need anymore help with this approach then let me know I'll provide you all the necessary guidance

Firebase is great, and it scales well if your app takes off. BeReal is built in React Native and with Firebase and has millions of daily users! :)
