functions-samples VS Fly CDN

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.

> I use https://fly.io now for this purpose.

That looks pretty cool, thanks.

I think we have passed the first stage where people have gone through a couple of disasters and have learned they actually didn't need majority of the features k8s offers at their scale. They are now actively looking for simpler tools which opens space for nomad and co. Plus success stories from companies like https://fly.io(yes I like them) with nomad are pilling up.

Fly.io is a relatively new platform (founded in 2017) which has a free tier to test out the platform or host small side projects. They give each user \$10/mo of service credit that automatically applies to any paid service.

fly.io (no affiliation) has support for persistent disks - and has private encrypted networking between all of your containers, to boot.
