How to build smarter and ship faster with the Firebase Flutter SDK and your Windows development workflow
The Firebase Flutter SDK helps you use Flutter and Firebase together in powerful ways, but you can still run into roadblocks during development. For example, if you can’t run your app on your local machine, you need to spend time setting up emulators or loading your app onto physical devices for testing. But your time is valuable! In this demo, we’ll show you our improved support of Windows for development using a template from the Flutter Casual Games Toolkit as an example. Now, you can reduce cumbersome development tasks to focus on the things that matter!

How to release safely and reduce risk with Remote Config and Crashlytics

What if it's just not as popular as you had hoped? In this demo, we’ll look at two upcoming Firebase features that use the power of Crashlytics, Remote Config, and Google Analytics to reduce these risks and make your releases safer so you can launch with confidence.

How App Check helps protect your app from credential stuffing
Password reuse is a security risk. Unfortunately, this is something many app users do. When passwords are compromised, those user accounts become vulnerable to credential stuffing attacks, which is when a malicious actor tries to reuse those passwords on multiple sites in an attempt to totally take over those accounts. In this demo, we’ll show you how you can help your users mitigate these types of attacks using Firebase App Check and Firebase Authentication endpoints.

Firebase & Terraform: The simple way to scale and automate your infrastructure
As your business grows, manually setting up your cloud resources becomes more tedious, time-consuming, and prone to mistakes. But Firebase now integrates with Terraform – an industry-standard tool for infrastructure-as-code that automates provisioning and configuring of cloud resources. In this demo, we’ll show you how Terraform can help you scale, even when you’re using several Firebase services like Authentication, multiple Cloud Firestore instances, and now even Firebase Extensions!
