action-hosting-deploy VS flyctl

Could they not have their own FB to develop against? Does every dev need to use just yours? If that is the case, then you'd need to use https://support.google.com/firebase/answer/7000272?hl=en also, it looks to be possible to include Firebase in your GitHub for them to pull from https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/github-integration

Github Actions is the way to go for this: https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/github-integration

Whenever a Pull Request is created we need to be able to quickly checkout the changes. Reading code diff is great, but sometimes you just need to tinker with the new version, test it on mobile, different browsers and OS. Cloud services are perfect for this case, they allow you to deploy the code temporarily and access it with a link from any device. We chose Firebase to host it for us and a Github action posts a link to the deployment as a comment in the Pull Request. It works like a charm and speeds up code reviews a lot. Read this article to set it up on your repository!

Lambdas and firebase on the GCP stack for CRUD apps.

One nice thing about firebase -> each PR deploys to its own preview channel[1].

Downside: Very JS heavy. I write lambdas in python though.

Google Firebase has a pretty straightforward guide to setting up auto-deploy from Github, which you can take a look at here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/github-integration

What is the easiest way for setting up CI/CD from GH for Firebase functions? Maybe something like this for hosting, but only for functions?

Note: you can find more info about the used steps actions here actions/checkout@v2 and here FirebaseExtended/action-hosting-deploy@v0

To begin visit fly.io to create an account. Next install flyctl a command line tool for creating and deploying fly apps. macOS

For frontend deployment, I used Netlify (for the generous free package) and the recommended fly.io for server + database (also cheap package).

Create an account on Fly.io.

You can learn more about fly.io and tigris, we will need to create an account on both platforms for this project regardless. Anyway with the theory out of the way let's get started in the next section as we create our accounts and start building the app.

Fly.io is a platform that helps you run your apps and databases closer to your users all around the world. It takes your app code, packages it up neatly, and puts it on virtual machines that can be quickly started or stopped. This makes your app faster for users and more reliable. Fly.io is easy to use, works well for small projects or personal apps. It's a great way to make sure your app runs smoothly for people no matter where they are.

In this post, we'll start from scratch, running FerretDB locally via Docker, trying out the connection with mongosh and the MongoDB Node.js client, and finally deploy FerretDB to Fly.io for a production ready set up.

Fly is a cloud platform that focuses on global edge computing. Fly specializes in high-performance hosting and provides a global network of edge locations. Fly is known for its scalability and performance optimizations.

But videototextai.com is built using NextJS + Firebase auth + Firestore and a backend deployed at fly.io . Fly makes it really easy to deploy docker containers and that is IMO the fastest way to develop, you can setup a local setup

Alternatives explored: * northflank: While running the wrk test, requests were taking 3-7 seconds. Couldn't repeat Heroku's phenomenon of "400ms-800ms" during such a load test. * fly.io: Reliability: It’s Not Great * render.com: I remember the time when indiehackers.com was down because of an outage on Render, not sure if it's worth trusting.
