Google Firebase Realtime Database Encryption

I see in the docs that Firebase Realtime Database is encrypted.
But there are some terms I don't fully understand:

  1. Firebase services encrypt data in transit using HTTPS and logically isolate customer data. What does logically isolate customer data. mean?
  2. "In addition, several Firebase services also encrypt their data at rest: Firebase Realtime Database Firebase Test Lab" Can somebody explain this in layman's terms?

  1. Firebase stores user's data on the same physical server, but the data is isolated by a computer program (computer logic). It's not physically isolated from one another.

  2. When your data is not "in use" it's encrypted. So when you data is being worked on by a service it has to be not encrypted.
