BaaS providers form a bridge between the frontend of an application and various cloud-based backends via a unified API and SDK. [3] Providing a consistent way to manage backend data means that developers do not need to redevelop their own backend for each of the services that their apps need to access, [10] potentially saving both time and ...
Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) is part of the Firebase platform, which is a cloud service model that automates backend development or a Backend-as-a-service (BaaS).

Some designs, such as GCC, offer choices between multiple frontends (parsing different source languages) or backends (generating code for different target processors). [4]
