Life's a garden. Dig it.

I don't really understand Firebase auth. That bothers me.

So, this post will document my journey to learn and truly understand every nook and cranny of Firebase auth.

In this tutorial / journey, I'll be using Firebase with Next.js + React. In other words, I'll be studying auth through the lens of developing a web application.

What do you mean by "auth"?

  • authentication (verifies a user's identity)
  • authorization (determine if a user has permission to a resource)
