Documentation
Unpopular Opinion:
Googles Documentation is bloated and lacks code examples
Angular Firebase:
No proper documentation page
Firebase:
Important documentation hidden on stackoverflow
Performance
Cold starts:
Terrible performance for low traffic apps
Functions Speed:
Comparably slow for average work
Firestore:
Slow query speeds and only partial batch support
One hell of a bug
HTTPS Function has a very non-deterministic behaviour
Syntactically correct, should execute properly or log errors.
Neither logging nor execution is happens reliably
export const stupid_function = functions.https.onRequest(
async (request, response) => {
const body = request.body;
console.log("New request from " + body.id)
await db.collection("some_document")
.doc(body.id)
.set(body);
console.log("Saved request in firestore");
response.status(200).send();
// Code that does some heavy lifting and time intesive stuff
console.log("Now doing loads of work")
doLoadsOfWork();
console.log("Loads of work finished");
}
);
