Yeah, I remember when Parse offered these cloud functions back in 2012... It was a game-changer for "Backend-as-a-Service."
Wait till Google axes Firebase with no warning How many times can devs be burned, are we all masochists or just not have any memory of the last project that offered all this
(Cloud Functions for Firebase PM here) We’ve been developing this product for years, and we’ve had it in private alpha testing for well over a year, so we’re incredibly excited to finally take the wrappings off and let all of you try it. Firebase has always focused on empowering you all to build extraordinary experiences for your users, without needing to worry about building common infrastructure. While we’ve made b…
I can't tell from the docs - are server functions able to to modify or reject writes to refs in the realtime DB before they happen?
Oh man. This is great. Firebase is now a one-stop shop for the majority of app infrastructure needs, and really is the closest thing to a "serverless" infrastructure. Vendor lock-in aside, I can't think of a reason not to use it, at the MVP level at least.
Firebase offers a lot, but it's no longer the only game in town that offers a sorta-serverless baas. Here are some compelling alternatives (I'd love to see a complete list of the best Firebase alternatives): - https://www.syncano.io - https://www.graph.cool - https://www.backand.com I'm omitting things like feathers.js b/c the most attractive feature of Firebase-like tools is not having to manage your own server/data…

This was a long time coming, so congrats first. I also recently read this from an experienced Firebase developer: https://medium.freecodecamp.com/firebase-the-great-the-meh-a... Interestingly, he lists several things that he things Firebase needs in order to be awesome, and server-functions is last on the list: > 1. Real querying capabilities. Search, joins, the whole enchilada. > 2. Some sort of references likes Mon…

Being able to have data relationships and real querying is a big plus over Firebase.
