Security Rules! 🔑 | Get to know Cloud Firestore #6

Wondering how to get started with security rules in your Cloud Firestore database? On this episode of Get to Know Cloud Firestore, Todd shows you how to make sure your clients only have access to the documents they're supposed to see, so you can do that whole "serverless computing" thing. Watch to find out about data validation, resource objects, custom auth claims, and much more!

Take an extremely technical engineer with extremely good communication skills and extreme work ethic to put together such an extensive series and you get this guy

Love this. Fast, efficient, clear, and engaging. This is exactly what I want to see in a technical video. No filler, no wasted time, not vague or confusing. Thank you!

[FellowEnginerd]

Wow, easily the best video education series I've ever watched. Production quality through the roof and presenter is clearly knowledgable and able to communicate in a fun and direct way. Thank You!

Who else noticed that little thread on his right shoulder?! 😁 By the way, a great video! 👍👍

[ZsooxTR]

Wow, this taught me everything I needed to know, thanks so much for uploading this video! 😊

[RaphaelMattosatContextaWare]

The whole series is great! I'm glad you aren't afraid of lengthy videos. The short videos on the channel are good too, but intermediate or more experienced developers want more details. Please keep this up!

Also, I feel I laughed more than I should at the "moist" joke :)

I dunno what kinda docs you're taking about, but when I spent hours each night struggling to figure out these rules (which I eventually figured out), you answers all my questions in a single 20 min video.

Tod always provide a great perspective to look at thing, and create product that is easier for us developer to use

[yoshcode]

Thank you for using a realistic use case like the restaurant app, with some decently complex data, instead of just a "to do app" like every other tutorial out there hah

[raghav]

Looking forward at early 2019 for Todd's video on #7- Hey we updated Firestore to support Geoqueries, collection group queries, OR queries. 😁

Best tutorial I have seen so far for learning the security rules :)

[kavinda_dilshan_paramsoodi]

I like this guy. He's like my next-door uncle who always is funny and nice to people.

[boo]

What an awesome video, and now I've seen there's an entire series from this guy. explained it perfectly for my ape brain. Thank you!

[zenban]

Security Rules, like the noun, but also Security Rules! like the verb... All I know is Database Robin Williams Rules!

Seriously thank you for making learning a new language much less intimidating

[GustavAndersson]

So nice with a high-quality tutorial series where the presenter is SO good that he doesn't need to beg the viewer to subscribe; we'll do it anyway! And share! Can't wait for the next instalment.

[callybx]

Just brilliant - so clear and simply explained - thank you!!!!

[extspence]

Great Series, the string cut the string.

[digitalml]

Love your entire series. Would love to see a video on perhaps the best ways to combine all the services together. For example in my current app, we are using realtime database, firestore, firebase authentication, storage and now cloud messaging. With so many products one could see how confusing the entire product ecosystem is...

[LuisCastillo-qhwm]

Best videos series of this channel, as a developer I love it!
