It integrates easily with React Native through an official node package, which brings the database connection for free. Unfortunately, Firebase doesn't offer a JavaScript SDK for their push notifications service, but there are several React Native libraries filling that gap by bridging Firebase's iOS and Java SDKs with a JavaScript interface. We will be using react-native-fcm as it is the most mature in its field.

Before building an app on top of a Firebase MBaaS, you need to create a project for it. This is a free process that is explained in Firebase's website https://firebase.google.com/.
