Firebase Admin-SDK

Question

Am working on a project and it includes Firebase backend

https://firebase.google.com/

However, I want to use firebase Backend on a java web application, the problem is they only support node.js for web . But they have something called Admin-sdk

https://firebase.google.com/docs/admin/setup

Can I use Admin-sdk on Java web application ? note that I don't want to use JavaScript as backend because then java web app will be useless and I can create it fully by node.js

another thing is that I only want authenticate users, add , update, delete from and upload files to Firebase Database which is supported by admin-sdk

I want to know if it will work or its not recommended or there is another option to in java web ?

Thanks

The Firebase Admin SDKs allow you to use Firebase products in a trusted environment, such as a server you control, or Cloud Functions. The back-end of a web application is also a trusted environment.

But since you're building a web application, you'll probably (also) want to use some Firebase products directly from the user's browser. In that case you'd use the web SDKs for those products, such as the Firebase SDK for Cloud Storage (to interact with files).
