Resell - Cornell Marketplace

Resell is an app that collects, filters, and compares different items that people want to resell in order to connect sellers with buyers and to facilitate resource utilization. Resell is one of the latest apps by Cornell AppDev, an engineering project team at Cornell University focused on mobile app development. Download the current release on the App Store!

Using Firebase

Resell uses two databases per environment. We have a PostgreSQL database that is associated with our Digital Ocean backend server. We also have a Firebase Firestore database (a NoSQL database) under the Resell Firebase project in our Cornell AppDev Google acount.

For Firestore, the (default) database corresponds to our development environment and resell-prod corresponds to production. Please be aware of which database to use since frontend is responsible for managing data in Firestore.
