Firebase 架构

Question

I currently have a server running in Django and a frontend in Angular 2. I'm planning to build a chat messaging using Firebase but I don't know if I should call the saving of data directly in client or send it first in my server and do the calls there.

1) Client sends a message -> Firebase If I structure it like this, any users can have a read and write access on the database

2) Client sends a message -> My Server (Using a service account) -> Firebase And if I structure it like this, clients will only have a read access so they can only subscribe but not send any message.

What's the ideal way of doing it?

Thank you

Firebase is meant for the Client sends a message -> Firebase Architecture.

It is your responsibility to setup Rules correctly in Firebase so that read and write access on the database is based upon their Role/Authentication etc.
