Firebase is a platform developed by Google for creating mobile and web applications. It was originally an independent company founded, Google acquired the platform and it is now their flagship offering for app development. Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) is a cross-platform messaging solution that lets you reliably send messages at no cost. It works on the principle of down streaming messages from FCM servers to user’s app and upstream messages from user’s apps to FCM servers. Firebase comes with a lot of new features along with the GCM infrastructure.
