The Java Firebase Database quickstart demonstrates how to connect to and use the Firebase Realtime Database using Java through a simple social blogging app. It will interoperate with the Web, iOS and Android database quickstarts.

This server will:

• Update the star counts for all posts.
• Send notifications when a post has been stared.
• Run weekly job listing the top 5 posts.

• Read more about Firebase Database

• Create your project on the Firebase Console.
• Create a service account as described in Adding Firebase to your Server and download the JSON file.
  • Copy the json file to this folder and rename it to service-account.json.
• Change the DATATBASE_URL variable in Database.java to be the URL of your Firebase Database.

• From the database directory run ./gradlew build run to start run the quickstart.
• Configure and run one of the Database quickstarts for Web, iOS or Android. Then use one of these apps to publish new posts: you should see console output when one of your posts have received a new star and the starred counter should be kept up to date by the app.
