Describes how to manage TimberID Assets in Google Cloud

Organization Structure

All Google Cloud Assets are stored in a hierarchical structure with the timberid.org organization at its root with two Firebase Projects, river-sky-386919 and timberid-prd serving as the development and production versions respectively.

Below is a diagram of the hierarchy you will also find in the resource manager in Google Cloud.

Firebase Console

The Firebase Console is the best tool to view and manage the TimberID components above. This is because it will filter the products to those actually used in TimberID - namely Hosting, Functions and Firestore.

These products are fully managed meaning users do not need to manually scale or manage compute & storage as you would compared to (for example) a postgres server set up in Google Compute.

The test environment console and production environment console allow you to:

• Manage your Firebase projects and apps.

• Add and configure Firebase features, such as Authentication, Firestore, Functions and Cloud Storage.

• Monitor your apps' performance and usage.

• Send push notifications to your users.

• Debug and troubleshoot your apps.

• Distribute your apps to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

Additional things you can do with the Firebase console:

• Create and manage custom audiences for targeted marketing campaigns.

• Perform A/B testing to optimize your apps.

• Track user behavior and engagement.

• Collect and analyze crash reports.

• Receive alerts when something goes wrong with your apps.

The Firebase console is a powerful tool that can help you manage, develop, and distribute your mobile and web apps.
