I'm developing an ios application using Firebase it has huge users. I need to update particular field value in Firebase database based on user's response. Is there a way to increase particular field' value by one(1) without reading its current value. What will happen when several users trying to increase value of same field concurrently?

          From a client app, you cannot increment a value without reading it. If there are multiple writers, the last writer's value overwrites everything else.



          If you want to safely increment a value when there are concurrent writers of the same value, use a transaction.
