Android and Firebase
Firebase offers you the tools and infrastructure you need to build better apps and grow successful businesses. Firebase stores and syncs the data (json format) in real time so on your android app you will have the latest data without doing a new request.

Firebase has a lot of new features and these features are able to work independently, and they work even better together.
