Map moving objects with CartoDB and Firebase

Firebase is an awesome platform for making real-time applications, allowing developers to push and receive updates from multiple clients easily. When data changes, apps built with Firebase update instantly across every device – web or mobile.

And CartoDB is an awesome platform for designers and developers to create beautiful maps and apps easily. When data changes, CartoDB maps update to keep in synch with reality.

So, what better combination to produce maps of real-time data, than Firebase and CartoDB?

We’ve contributed a guest post at the Firebase blog (and a demonstration application) about using CartoDB and Firebase together, check it out!
