We are the building blocks that allow you to stitch together all the components you need to build your app's baseline, from payment processing to image optimization to shipping fulfillment. You no longer have to sift through learning 20-30 different APIs and instead can focus on your real competitive advantage. Extensions can be configured to fit your business and scale with you. Just like Firebase takes the work out of managing a database, extensions are solutions that take the work out of integrating and maintaining APIs. During Firebase Summit, we are excited to introduce many new extensions that together form the baseline of your app.

Like any set of problems, there is never one solution to solve them all. Similarly for figuring out the best outcomes for your users and your app's business goals, there are times where personalizing your app experience in real-time is the way to go and others when A/B testing a more permanent solution is the best approach. In this talk, we'll walk through how to decide when to use each one as well as how you can implement them in your own apps.
