Support Dart in Cloud Functions
Dart is not currently supported in Cloud Functions, so developers need to use more than one language in their code base. Here are some pain points they shared with the Firebase product team about this gap:
- They need to learn another language, and many of them do not have the same expertise in JavaScript as they do in Dart.
- The lack of features and tools, such as Hot Reload and Hot Restart, impacts development speed.
- Developers cannot share business logic and data models across the entire stack.
- Developers cannot use frequently used Dart packages on the…777 votes -
Automatic Deployment of Changed Firebase Functions
Firebase should offer a built-in feature to automatically detect changes to Cloud Functions and deploy only those functions, grouped into manageable batches to avoid rate limits. This feature would streamline deployments by:
- Scanning the project directory to identify functions with modified code since the last deployment.
- Automatically batching the deployment of changed functions based on rate limit thresholds (e.g., 8-10 functions per batch).
- Handling the deployment process transparently within the Firebase CLI or CI/CD integrations, reducing manual intervention.
This functionality would save time, minimize deployment errors, and improve developer workflows, particularly in large projects with numerous functions.

Support Swift in Cloud Functions
Swift is a much beloved and popular language for writing apps on the Apple platforms, but increasingly, it is also being used server side and even for writing cross platform business logic on Android and on Windows.
Being able to share models and business logic between your clients and server would be an amazing productivity boost. And being able to develop in a language that focuses on safety would eliminate categories of issues that can exist if you develop in say Javascript or Typescript.

Auth onUpdate trigger for v1 and v2 functions
In the same way, we have onCreate and onDelete, it will be very helpful to have an onUpdate option. For example, so we can react to an email address change.

new Firebase Authentication trigger
firebase currently has two firebase auth triggers:
functions.auth.user().onCreate()
functions.auth.user().onDelete()I would like a trigger to respond to onLinkWithCredential so that I can update the user document in the user collection with the additional/changes from the new auth method

Fix Body Parse
If bad JSON is sent to a cloud function, for example if the function is an API endpoint, the body-parse in Firebase Functions will throw an HTML response error before and user function code is run.
This is a really bad experience for endpoint users where instead of a formatted JSON error message, they get a strange HTML response.
The body-parser used in by Firebase Functions should pass along the error instead of returning the response.

Cloud Functions versioning
It will be great to have an easy way to deploy different versions of our API and access them by adding a "v1" or "v2" to the URL.
Currently, we can do it manually by changing the name of the function, but the ideal is to have a new parameter in the deployment process (CLI) to "group" them in versions.
This idea is great to roll out and have different versions living side by side until the production version that uses the new API is released to all the users.3 votes -
Make Firebase Functions Test a First Grade citizen
A solid Firebase Functions experience requires a fully functional test suite.
Firebase-functions-test is already there, and provides the experience, but is often forgotten for months.Firebase functions 6 was released a month ago, and it broke functions-test.
There's currently a patch that fixes it, and it's been there for a week.
This idea isn't about this issue. It's about giving resources to the firebase-functions-text project, so it can continue growing and thus giving cloud firebase functions users a solid testing experience before deploying.

Allow secrets on scheduled functions
It's not clear in the documentation nor by implementation that secrets work with scheduled cloud functions. This seems to me like a major missing feature in security and consistency with the v2 cloud functions. Is the only solution using the cloud config for api keys/secrets?
We need to have something like:
exports.someScheduledFunction = onSchedule(
{
schedule: "every 60 minutes",
timeoutSeconds: 100,
secrets: [someToken.name],
},
async () => {
logInfo("Running every 60 min");...
}

Create a context.auth (1st Gen) equivalent for 2nd Gen cloud function
1st gen cloud functions can access auth info via context.auth as described here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/extend-with-functions?gen=1st#accessing_user_authentication_information
But 2nd gen cloud functions is yet to have the same function.

Increase request size over 32Mb
Right now, a Firebase function can only accept a request payload size up to 32Mb.
Using it as webhook for some external APIs, we would need to have no limits or at least 100Mb limit3 votes -
Support Go in Cloud Functions
Go is much more efficient than Python or Js and should be the obvious choice for backend where performance is crucial

Fee/Pricing
Functions is behind paywall, (it is still free for some limit in Blaze plan), but IF i upgrade to Blaze, then Cloud Storage, Hosting etc starts to charge right away, even in free plan they have free limits but once switched to Blaze it starts to charge. So to get free Functions, i have to pay cloud storage and hosting and more.
For any playground project that is not gonna hit market or earn money, how i am supposed to try/learn functions? This forces me to move away from platform

Should add basic REDIS/ Memcache Like Capability
Why I Want This?
Firebase splits functions to individual Docker Container. This works great for scaling, but with that it is not easy to share global values, for example, user's access key to external services and session specific values.
While we can use REDIS and such hosted on GCP, it would be more "batteries included" platform if this feature is offered as a built-in functionality for the functions without resorting to Firestore or RTDB.
What I look for is to globally share key values and also auto-expire them.

Add an argument that automatically chunks cloud function deployments according to the maximal possible quota
When deploying multiple cloud functions at once via
firebase deploy --only functionswe frequently run into quota issues like:
functions: got "Quota Exceeded" error while trying to update projects/.... Waiting to retry...
It never retries though.
It would make it way easier if you could add an argument to the deployment command like:
firebase deploy --only functions --chunked 503 votes -
Sub Collection View
I feel the window to view sub collection on the firebase firestore console could be expandable.
