But did you see the slow down in the request to firebase before going to upgrade frameworks?

The Y axis of the graph which actually has relevant information. You are looking at a campaign page, and assuming those Colombian pesos are available to the author’s team. When you said “the image” I thought you were looking at the right one, and I thought it odd you were off several orders of magnitude from what I assumed to be your misunderstanding. That explains that. I had to go back and find your figure.
Ah, I didn't look closely at the charges graph. So yes, it maxed at ~5000 USD per day. I gotta say that using "$" for both USD and COP is confusing. So you must say "USD $x" and "COP $x". Then why bother with the "$"?
Context. Canadian dollars use $ too, and you only see CAD near the border or when it isn’t clear. If I’m a Colombian using a Colombian site and pesos use $, I don’t need the context. Also, properly, you’d say 5 USD, not USD $5; the dollar sigil is then redundant.
There’s a bit of americentrism down the confusing line of thought, for what it’s worth.

#43The company success is good, but the SELECT ALL query is a shame bigger...
It shouldn't be _possible_ to run select all in production.

That runs counter to the great Silicon Valley ethos of moving fast and breaking things

The moving fast breaking things guy came from the east coast.

#47So what is their product? Can't read spanish, and don't use chrome for translate.
A GoFundMe kind of platform, that allows groups of people to put funds towards a common goal (like a party or whatever)...in this case they used it to donate to a politician who had a huge debt after losing an election.

apparently the $ sign has its origins in the spanish Peso, where the p and s were gradually being merged together in abbreviations.
futhermore the US Dollar itself stems from the Spanish Dollar:

#49When you have an unexplained performance problem, your response shouldn't be to "upgrade every single framework and plugin" that you use. The 36 hours that they spent doing this cost them $21,600 dollars on GCP and didn't solve their users' problem. Understand the services you depend on. Track the number of requests you're making to them, how long they're taking, and how many are failing. Reason through your system a…
> Reason through your system modern stacks have a huge opacity problem, everyone wants to be magic, and everyone fails. abstractions make reasoning harder, what tools and techniques would you suggest for doing this? I'd probably run the application in some sort of sandbox and measure the outbound request load vs inbound request load, something a containerized deployment should be giving the end user (developer) as an…
Basic metrics around platform API calls would have done the trick, no need for fancy container solutions.
edit: I would have also assumed they would get this for free from GCP's billing breakdown, but I'm not familiar with it. My first intuition when facing unexpected billing would be to figure out what the major contributor to the bill is (in this case, massive reads from FireStore), not update my frontend packages.

Correct. They had it first, which is why I lightly check the “they use $ too? That’s confusing.” sentiment.
The Dutch, ever innovative in trade, can lay claim as a bigger influence on the word “dollar” and the currency form itself, however, and colonial Americans traded regularly in Dutch daalders (we still pronounce it that way, unlike doh-LAHR/doh-LAHR-ehss for the Spanish varieties). Daalders themselves were descendants of Bohemian thalers, as were Spanish dollars. We just borrowed the neighboring dollars when the time came, probably due to our foreign policy environment at the time, trade with Florida, and so on.
