I having a case where I need to receive notification whenever Realtime Database Firebase have new data. When investigate, I found out there are 2 way to do this in client side (mobile app using React Native):

Can someone please tell me what is the difference between 2 way and pros and cons of each way?. The document is not helpful for me about this.

Note:

  • Backend Server written in Java framework Spring boot response function push new data to Realtime Database Firebase.
  • Client side need to receive notification when new data added to Realtime Database Firebase (currently only mobile app written in React Native but I also need to do it for web in the future)

    You've linked the Admin SDK and Android implementation of the child-added event. There is no significant difference between child-added on various platforms. --- As it stands your question it unclear and will likely be closed. I recommend editing it (there's a link under it), to describe what you are trying to accomplish (and on what platform). Commented Jan 25, 2022 at 14:18
  • @FrankvanPuffelen Thank you, you are right, I had mislead the link. Please check it again to see if it cleary enough. Commented Jan 25, 2022 at 16:55

    You are now comparing two completely separate databases: Firestore and Realtime Database. While both are part of Firebase, that's pretty much where the overlap ends. If you want to trigger a Cloud Function from Realtime Database, see firebase.google.com/docs/functions/database-events Commented Jan 25, 2022 at 18:24

Paraphrasing Frank Van Puffelen's comment as an answer:

Firestore and Realtime databases are two completely separate databases. Though firestore and Realtime database both are part of Firebase. If you want to trigger a cloud function from Real Time database, please follow this documentation. If you want to trigger cloud function from Firestore, please check this documentation.
