Is it possible to create a website like Alibaba with Firebase? if so, what languages or technologies should I use.
I know HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP
I think this is a very broad question, however, the official Firebase Quickstart Samples for Web is a really good place to start.
You can use several Firebase services such as:
Firebase Hosting which provides fast and secure hosting for your web app, static and dynamic content, and microservices.
Firebase Authentication which provides backend services, easy-to-use SDKs, and ready-made UI libraries to authenticate users to your app. It supports authentication using passwords, phone numbers, popular federated identity providers like Google, Facebook and Twitter, and more.
Cloud Storage for Firebase to store and serve user-generated content, such as photos or videos.
Realtime Database or Cloud Firestore to store extra data. Be sure to check the documentation about choosing the correct database for you.
Firebase guides are also a good place to find very well explained examples. Good luck!

I understand that Firebase is BAAS and Google Cloud is IAAS. Lets say, I have a web application which I want to host in Firebase platform provided by Google. In this case, does it mean that my app will be deployed using GAE or Cloud run?
Lets assume that in future Google deprecates Google App Engine, which is serverless component in Google Cloud. Wil this have any impact in the apps hosted in firebase console?
I am trying to understand how it works...
Firebase is a serverless platform, enabling pwa/mobile apps developers with "backend tools" that do not require classic backend development/deploy/maintenance.
It actually combines some frontend specific services (like Test Lab or Hosting) with "lifted" GCP Services (like Cloud Functions, Storage, Authentication, etc), to make GCP more accessible to frontend/mobile developers.
You could deploy the frontend of your app to Firebase Hosting, while using Firebase Functions (lifted GCP Cloud Functions) to run your backend logic (be aware that cloud functions have many different requirements compared to AppEngine -> work differently).
Cloud Functions behind the scenes run on Cloud Run, but that's totally transparent to you.

I am making a software using firebase, this software has both user UI and Admin UI. An admin either activate, deactivate or remove certain users and do nothing. I want to add some more features to the admin UI. Something like being able to check my firebase account's usage, current plan and so on.
In simple words, is there any way to find below details of a single firebase project of mine using firebase-admin package?
Used storage bucket space and totally available bucket size, downloads and uploads
Firestore database write and read counts and maximum read/writes as per the current plan
The total number of users currently existing in my firebase auth
Cloud functions errors count
Being able to fetch these data in realtime would be more better and there maybe some kind of way for drawing graphs on the dashboard on the basis on these data.
I have initialized firebase-admin by calling admin.initializeApp(); and the code for activating and or deactivating users. What about the analytics ? Is it possible with firebase-admin ? I'd tried a lot Googling but didn't found a way...
The Firebase Admin SDKs currently don't provide any of the meta-information you are looking for. You can find the current list of functionality in the documentation.

I have started learning flutter and working on a mobile application that uses Firebase as a backend. I found documentation of Firebase for multiple languages and platforms like iOS, Android, Java, C++, Node.js, etc. But I wonder if we have any official documentation for Flutter. Here are the few links I'm following, but they are not proving enough information.
Flutter Plugins Documentation,
Flutter Documentation
and StackOverflow and other communities for issues.
Can anyone please provide links that provide more information about the firebase implementation in flutter apps. Thanks & Regards.
I would like to share with you some of the resources that I found for you to get a fresh start with Firebase for Flutter.
This first link is a tutorial from Codelabs. You'll learn
how to create a Flutter app that uses Firebase. The app helps new
parents choose baby names by letting friends and family vote for
their favorites. Specifically, the app accesses a Cloud Firestore
database, and a user action in your app (i.e., tapping a name
option) updates the database using a transaction.
This other link is a to Add Firebase to your Flutter app guide.
You'll learn how to set up your environment and configure your app
to use Firebase for your app back-end service.
Also, this is a good reading. This could be an additional
resource to adding Firebase to your Flutter app to gain a deeper
understanding. There are some fantastic graphs and explanations.
Lastly, this is a step-by-step tutorial to Building a chat app
with Flutter and Firebase from scratch. I'm not sure what your use
case may be, but this will definetely help you get acquainted with
the tools needed to use Firebase for Flutter.
Hope you find it useful.

Codelabs has the way you should start!!

I've just started using Firebase to create a web app.
More and more I get the feeling that Firebase is targeting mobile app developers, not web. Yes, they have a Web SDK, but there is so much that is only available for iOS / Android, such as:
Analytics
Notifications
Remote Config
Adwords
Test Lab
Anyone care to shed some light?
Yes, basically Google Analytics was not made for tracking mobile analytics as it is web centric. Firebase started their analytics development around the mobile platform and then Google acquired it. Everything in the mobile is event based, this is the driving force for Firebase analytics.
So, if you are using a web application it is better to use the Google Analytics which is web centric to get the clear and comprehensive web based analytics data.

How do I do my business logic on server-side on firebase?
Will the web app still have the benefits of progressive web app if I do this?
Reason to do this: Anybody can run Javascript code on your website if the person knows how to use the developer tools available in modern browsers.
Is firebase Queue (NodeJS on AWS) the way? I am a noob to all this.
You need to write more of your business logic on font-side than traditional way. To make it safe, you need to write access rules carefully on firebase console.
And it's not enough, you also need a server-side, nodejs is a good choice, there are many useful library, such as firebase, firebase-queue, firebase-admin. You can deploy these servers on the google cloud with docker.
