About
The Firebase Realtime Database is a NoSQL cloud-hosted database developed by Google.
It stores data as 
JSON, synchronizes updates in real time across all connected clients, supports built-in offline persistence so apps continue working without network, and scales to around 200,000 concurrent client connections and 1,000 writes per second in a single database.
PostgreSQL, also known as Postgres, is a powerful open-source object-relational database system that extends SQL with features for storing structured, semi-structured and geometric data.
It supports ACID transactions, multiversion concurrency control (MVCC), advanced indexing types (GiST, GIN, BRIN), native JSON/JSONB with indexing, extensibility through custom types and functions, full-text search, foreign data wrappers, and geospatial queries via PostGIS.
