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");
    }
);
