How does firebase distribute user's DB data across multiple servers to achieve scalability? LevelDB? Or Is it using sharded mysql with some raft/paxos consensus similar to dynamo? Or is it some internal proprietary solution?
At a very high level:
- Cloud Firestore - powered by the same technology that powers Cloud Spanner, which you can read about online if you're interested.
- Realtime Database - secret Firebase magic sauce, sorry!
