Function Scaling and Isolation With Cloud Functions for Firebase (Firecasts)

In the first episode of this #Firecasts series on using cloud functions for Firebase, @codingdoug covers how to level up your code by understanding cloud function scaling and isolation behaviors.

Now I understand why :)) spotting this video was hard. but it is vital to watch!

[BogacGuven]

Love these videos, please keep them coming

How to handle event duplication and why/when does it What is an event in this case? This should be more detailed.. Is there a video on this?

[maxosall]

It's hard to find the sequence of your videos

Cloud callable functions are too slow! Also, there's no way to roll back deployed functions!

I hope somebody from firebase team will see this comment and work on these improvements

Why duplication? its a major issue that should be solved. It affects the code drastically.

Hi Doug, I'm most worried about using the wrong architecture for solving a problem. I want my stuff to keep working across different versions.

What should I look out for when creating my database structure in firebase?

[cihancil]

What does events might be duplicated mean? Let's say I make a payment when event is triggered. Wouldn't it cause that I might have make that purchase twice? Isn't it a problem?

Well Doug, thanks for releasing a video on exactly the same matter I’ve wrote a question about on StackOverflow just two days ago.

Fun thing you voted to close it. Anyway, regarding those duplicate (or more) function triggers, can we use transaction on them to set a “processed” flag so we can ignore it the second time around ?

Hi Doug, similar to AWS step functions do we have any provision to work with Cloud functions for Firebase?

[adarsh_hatwar]

Cloud functions python runtime environment is still in beta and now go is in beta....Also there is no option to deploy the functions written in these languages via the command line as gcloud doesn't support firebase events yet. Which runtime would you recommend to use in production that takes complete advantage of the architecture Google has in store currently? My main target is to have cloud functions tat scale and are reliable.

Let's say we group our functions in many files rather than a single index.js as default. When we deploy our functions, how will the back end system where to find the functions if they are not in default index.js?

Thanks!

Different functions shares the same connection pool from Cloud SQL?

Parse is better, and more easy to use.
