[Adityakanoi2001]

Summary:
Integrate Firebase Authentication for Google-based and Multi-platform Login in User Microservice

Description:
Objective: To enhance our user authentication system and provide a seamless login experience across various platforms (Web, Android, iOS), we will integrate Firebase Authentication with our User Microservice. This integration will enable users to log in using their Google accounts securely.

Tasks:

Firebase Project Setup:

Create a Firebase project if not already established.
Configure Firebase Authentication with Google Sign-In enabled.
Firebase SDK Integration:

Integrate Firebase SDK dependencies into the User Microservice project.
Configure Firebase in the User Microservice application.
Google Sign-In Implementation:

Develop Google-based sign-in functionality within the User Microservice.
Ensure that user profile data (such as display name, email, and profile picture URL) is retrieved and securely stored in our user database.
Multi-Platform Compatibility:

Verify that the Firebase integration seamlessly supports Google-based login across Web, Android, and iOS platforms.
Ensure a consistent user experience and data synchronization across these platforms.
Error Handling and Logging:

Implement robust error handling mechanisms for authentication failures, including clear error messages to users.
Configure detailed logging to monitor authentication events and troubleshoot issues efficiently.
Testing and Validation:

Develop comprehensive unit tests to validate the Firebase integration.
Conduct integration tests to ensure end-to-end functionality, including user login and data synchronization.
Verify that the integration meets security and performance standards.
Documentation and Knowledge Sharing:

Update the User Microservice documentation with precise Firebase integration instructions.
Organize a knowledge sharing session for the development team to ensure everyone is familiar with the Firebase integration and its nuances.
Acceptance Criteria:

Users can successfully log in using their Google accounts on all supported platforms (Web, Android, iOS).
User profile data is correctly retrieved and securely stored in our user database.
The authentication system is rigorously tested, and all tests pass without failures.
Clear and comprehensive documentation on Firebase integration is available for team reference.
Attachments:

The integration should adhere to Firebase and security best practices.
Refer to Firebase documentation and guidelines for implementation details.
Continuous monitoring and proactive maintenance of this integration are essential for ongoing user authentication reliability.
