Do I need to operate my own server to user Firebase Admin SDK












0















I have a Firebase project for android and am interested in using the Admin SDK, but it seems like this would require operating my own server. I don't want to have my own server operating 24/7 just for my app to work. Do you need to have a server to use the Admin SDK?



Thanks

          You can't use the admin SDK in the app, so you need some other environment to run it. That could be your desktop, laptop, a server, Cloud Functions, or some other cloud-based service. Just not the app.
