I’m super appreciative that these videos present a fair view of Firebase in that they are very clear about the shortcomings or negatives. It actually makes me feel more confident about using it for my future development as I know exactly what I’m getting into.

I love the animation and humor! Good work

I agree, Todd does an excellent job! I am binge watching the whole series.

Firestore is AWESOME. I recently used it in an application for triaging help requests from the Kerala floods.

My design required generating scores from every request document, and this design did lead to some costs, since I was reading several thousand documents every query. I wish I'd watched this video, since Cloud datastore might have been a better match.

But Firestore scaled well nevertheless, and I was able to handle more than a thousand users in an emergency situation. I paid nothing, since the costs were super low, and I was on the GCP trial.

This guy's jokes always crack me up

One of the items that impresses me about Google Cloud is the excellence of their speakers. I enjoy watching Google Cloud videos. The skills required to merge technical information with engaging speakers is very hard.

The daily limit spending in the app engine section has been removed.

"Could you be quiet? i am working on a video for YouTube..." This really made me laff.... I totally love the presentation

[jjyutube]

This guy is amazing, the video is not only informative, it is just fun to watch. Boring topics made not boring to watch anymore.

[gforever]

Love this guy, the way he presents the info and video editing is so good

[kaibe]

lol, these videos are both educational and actually quite humourous. The legalise at the start was awesome :D

[chriscurnow]

This was indeed a great, useful and easy to listen video. Todd, you are a natural in front of the camera. Just a tiny little thing though. It's now August and we are really missing you. We want more of you.

4 years down the line and i still refer to this videos.

Does "read counts" take place while reading documents offline e.g. from cache without internet on?

@Firebase 13:14 There is no `Usage History` tab anymore. Where can we find it now?

[rodrigocaballerohurtado]

This is first time I watch this channel (just getting started with Firebase) and your explanation really hooked me up to learn more! thanks!

Hey, was the daily limit option remove from the App Engine settings?

[RobertBrunhage]

Will you implement a backup button for firestore and also upload a json / excel file with data to create a backup system?

This is the stuff that developers talk about when they're designing something for a client, but don't tell them. Thanks!
