  1. 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…

  2. 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.

  3. It is currently already possible to create google cloud tasks. However, this could be better integrated by creating an abstraction for queues, for example, which can also be monitored and controlled via the admin console and firebase emulator.

  4. 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.

  5. Go is much more efficient than Python or Js and should be the obvious choice for backend where performance is crucial

  6. It's a pain to have to configure a process to watch and transpile TypeScript files to use in the emulator. Firebase CLI should have built-in support for it both in the emulator (with automatic watching, or on-the-fly transpilation as I showed here https://github.com/firebase/firebase-tools/issues/5633#issuecomment-1622585432) and when deploying.

  10. It would be awesome with some kind of helper built on memcache to allow rate limiting on user defined parameters.

    E.g. if I build a webservice that can access an 'account' concept that I have modelled with some kind of access token I have modelled, then it would be nice to add rate limiting rules for either the specific access token or the entire account.

  12. With Firebase, you can have real time listeners on Firestore documents, which allow to have your UI in sync with your data.

    But when you ship logic in an app, you lose control over it.

    If you want to be able to update that logic after shipping, you place it in the backend (Cloud Functions), but then you lose real time updates.
    It would be amazing to have functions that can fire real-time events based on Firestore updates.

    So the flow would be:
    - There is an update in a Firestore document (or potentially other triggers like pub/sub, analitycs, etc.)…

  13. An article and youtube video explains how to optimize cold boots by updating dependencies to 'commonly used versions' as this will increase the chance that the dependencies can already be found in the 'dependencies cache'.

    https://medium.com/@duhroach/improving-cloud-function-cold-start-time-2eb6f5700f6

    This is quite vague and a bit hard to reason about. Would it be possible to see a list of package names and version info for all packages in the dependencies cache?

  15. I am deploying using the Firebase CLI with Next.js. I find it incredibly effective and I am very grateful for it, however, I've encountered a bit of a problem.

    When running code with SSR that requires a certain package, an error occurs and I'm unable to proceed.

    Is it possible to use a Dockerfile or a Docker container image that I've prepared myself?

    Thank you very much for your assistance.

  18. To implement userfriendly generative AI applications it is import to stream data produced by LLMs back to the users browser. Firebase currently buffers all content and only returns when data is complete. Is the firebase team planning to implement this?

  19. Logs generated by Firebase Functions v1 have the property labels.execution_id that can be used to correlate logs that pertain to the same execution. However, that property doesn't exist in logs generated by Firebase Functions v2. It's very important for debugging.

  20. Many languages requested in other posts—Swift, Rust, Kotlin, etc.—can be implemented all at once by adding WebAssembly (WASM) and WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) to the list of Cloud Functions’s supported runtimes (and—importantly—supplying high-quality documentation).
