[Nodejs] Setup Firebase in 4 step

Firebase provides a realtime database and backend as a service.

Sound like a good plan to me, a lazy coder

The service provides application developers an API that allows application data to be synchronized across clients and stored on Firebase’s cloud.

1- Creating an Firebase application

Creating an Firebase application by a click on https://console.firebase.google.com/

2- Get service account key

After you click the Generate New Private Key button, a JSON file containing your service account’s credentials will be downloaded. You’ll need this to initialize the SDK in the next step.
