For a long time I have been using Google Sheets as my primary database in my Python projects. I always look at these tutorial videos and question if they are good to use in Thunkable. So should I be using Google Sheets or Firebase? I just want to make sure if any of them are reliable.
Also, if I were actually using Realtime Database, how would I call it? Would I have to grab a block from the Data Sources section?
FYI I’m picking on ease of use and security only
Ease of use: Google Sheets over Firebase by a lot
Security: I’ve heard Firebase is more secure
You would use cloud variables where the name of the cloud variable is the full path to the property in the Firebase Realtime Database.
It took me a while to feel comfortable using Firebase. But it’s flexible and fast.
I can definitely see how Firebase is more secure, considering a lot of people use it for their programs, but since they both go under Google, shouldn’t they both be secure? Also I’m stressed enough at getting a specific row ID all the time with Google Sheets
