r/Firebase

I am building an Expo + Firebase mobile app. After iterations of development and testing, the app got big and Cloud Functions increased. There are around 32 Cloud Run Functions, a function for an action.

I don't think this is a good approach long-term, and for scalability. So I wanted to create a backend/API for the actions/CRUD/Firestore queries, except for triggers, crons, auth and FCM.

So, I chose to create a Hono.js backend that's hosted on a Cloud Run Function (Still not ok with the decision). Later found out that it's kind of inconvenient for developing and testing.

And I'm not sure if this is a good and reliable approach. I need a good DX, scalabilityand performance.

Pls clear my head.

It’s 24 hours our Firebase Auth emails are not sent. We’re using an external SMTP (AWS SES) and using the Virtual Deliverability Manager I could verify that the Auth emails stopped at 21:30 European time of yesterday, August 17. Other emails get sent correctly through the “Firestore to email” extension.

I already contacted the support, but they haven’t answered yet, and the Firebase status is not reporting anything.

Anyone seeing this?

This is causing a lot of problems for our app, that’s about an event starting this friday!

I have two apps hosted on Firebase, and Google cancelled my Gmail account for no apparent reason. They claimed I was using bots to create the account, but it’s actually an old account I use solely for work. This account is linked to my Firebase account, and without the email, I can't access the dashboard to manage my apps. Has anyone else experienced this? Do you know if there's a way to access it without the account email?

the client needs a web app and an iOS and android app (we going to use nextjs and react native expo for them)

i wanted to ask should i use firebase for the whole backend?

We've been debugging this issue with the whole team for 2 months already.

Some of our users don't receive ALL notifications delivered. Yes, they are sent properly (a successful response from Firebase)

Neither our service worker nor in-browser's onMessage (from '@firebase/messaging') "sees" it.

Has anybody had something similar?
Please tell me how you fixed it, if you did.
At this point I don't even know what to Google and how...

Hey everyone!

I’ve been heavily focusing on backend development lately, building scalable systems with Firebase (Firestore, Auth, Cloud Functions) and Node.js.

Since I’m constantly looking to improve my workflow, I wanted to ask the community:

* What are your go-to tricks for optimizing Firestore read/write costs?

* How do you structure your Cloud Functions for maximum performance?

Would love to hear your experiences and best practices!
