This chapter introduced the Google Cloud Platform. It gave you a basic understanding of Google Cloud Storage and Google App Engine and how we can integrate Cloud storage for Firebase with Google Cloud Storage. We explored Cloud Storage for Firebase and saw how you can upload, download, and delete files to Cloud Storage. We also extended the HelpDesk application to allow the user to upload a screenshot along with the ticket details and also view/download the uploaded image. In addition, we explored how we can deploy our app on Firebase Hosting.

In the next chapter, we will talk about coding standards and best practices that developers should follow while working with React and Firebase to have better application performance, reduced number of bugs, and also for easily manageable application code.
