functions-samples VS firebase-functions

I tried to make a reddit like app. I used both realtime-database and firestore as database. The billing of the two is different from each other. I used realtime-database for frequently updated data (like or upvote, downvote count for ex.) and firestore for more stable and large data (post, comment, community and user data..). While doing this, I only used database rules, I did not use Cloud functions. So, I suggest you use a hybrid database to minimize your bill as much as possible and you can do amazing things with database rules. Have a good works.

const functions = require("firebase-functions"); // // Create and deploy your first functions // // https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/get-started // // exports.helloWorld = functions.https.onRequest((request, response) => { // functions.logger.info("Hello logs!", {structuredData: true}); // response.send("Hello from Firebase!"); // });

Try something along these lines…? https://github.com/firebase/functions-samples/tree/main/Node-1st-gen/quickstarts/email-users

Cloud Functions for Firebase - Pros: Aligns to my app which uses Firebase; Cons: have to use Typescript which I have no experience with

Cloud Functions run on Google's servers and are part of your project, so only you and your project collaborators can deploy that code.

That would be a Firebase Cloud Function. Check their latest list of YouTube tutorials, they'll guide you through creating an app with full Firebase features.

Cloud Functions for Firebase

Cloud Functions are a serverless solution that allows you to run backend code in response to HTTPS requests or even more ⚡ powerfully, in response to events triggered by other Firebase products.

Opened an issue on GitHub but I sincerely doubt it will be addressed being as the last issue I opened which was over two weeks ago (on a totally different bug) still hasn’t gotten any response.

Firebase SDK for Cloud Functions- not familiar with, does it solve the cons above

Cool. It's a new thing introduced 29 days ago in this PR: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-functions/pull/884

Reddit is not a great place for Feature Requests since we're likely to miss them (although I noticed this one!). In this case I'd suggest a GitHub issue here: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-functions
