The Firebase Admin Go SDK lets privileged server-side Go applications access Firebase services such as Authentication, Firestore, Cloud Messaging, and Storage. It is Google's official library for administering Firebase projects from Go backends.

Use cases

• verify firebase id tokens from a go backend
• mint custom auth tokens for firebase users
• manage firebase users programmatically from a server
• send push notifications via firebase cloud messaging from go
• read and write firestore documents from a privileged environment
• upload files to firebase storage from a go service

When to choose

• your backend is written in Go and needs privileged access to Firebase services
• you need to verify ID tokens or create custom tokens for Firebase Auth server-side
• you want an official, maintained SDK with Google support

When to avoid

• you are building a client-side app (use the Firebase client SDKs instead)
• your project does not use Firebase
• you need a language other than Go
