In this video, Esther Lloyd talks with Martin Omander about the architecture her customers use for real world, AI enabled finance applications. Watch along and see how development teams combine Firebase and Google Cloud to build complete production systems faster.
The architecture addresses several critical design and operational concerns, like how to maintain a single codebase for iOS and Android apps, protect APIs and models from unauthorized access, abuse, and prompt injections, avoid AI vendor lock-in, run at scale with zero server management overhead, and monitor app crashes, latency, and model performance in a single unified view.
