Introduction

Welcome to the Comprehensive Multi-Project Quasar & Firebase Playbook. This guide is designed to help you build and manage a robust, multi-repository Quasar/Vue application stack, hosted on Firebase and secured by Google Cloud services. Whether you’re developing a large-scale ITSM/PSA platform or any multi-tenant application, this playbook offers step-by-step best practices—from initial project scaffolding and secrets management to performance tuning and CI/CD automation.

Who Is This For?

• Front-End Engineers looking to structure multiple Vue/Quasar applications under a single umbrella.
• DevOps Teams seeking a clear blueprint for secure, automated deployments with Firebase and Google Cloud.
• Product Owners/Project Leads who want to ensure scalability, modularity, and maintainability of a complex app ecosystem.

What You’ll Learn

1. Cloud & Firebase Foundations: How to set up your Google Cloud project, link it with Firebase, and manage secrets.
2. Multi-Repo Architecture: Organizing separate repositories (host + sub-projects) for modular, micro-frontend-like development.
3. Advanced Quasar Techniques: Configuring global routers, stores, and dynamic loading with Webpack Module Federation.
4. Security & Performance: Strategies for tenant isolation in Firestore, secure secret handling, and optimized code splitting.
5. Automation & Monitoring: Building GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines, then adding Google Cloud Monitoring & Logging for full observability.
