Supercharging your applications with Cloud Functions

Cloud Functions for Firebase empowers web, mobile, and IoT developers to build simple, yet powerful backend features to their applications. I will be covering a quick intro into the what & why of Cloud Functions and finish up with some typical use-cases & examples of Cloud Functions for Firebase.

Have you ever started building an application and quickly realized that a lot of back-end work is needed? Cloud Functions is a serverless execution environment for building and connecting cloud services. With Cloud Functions you write simple, single-purpose functions that are attached to events emitted from your cloud infrastructure and services. There is no need to provision any infrastructure or worry about managing any servers.

In this session, you’ll see how using Cloud Functions for Firebase can help you quickly build out task heavy features for your web/mobile/IoT application as well as easily integrate with 3rd-party tools & services.

I’ve been using Firebase for personal and professional projects for over 4 years now. I have even built + worked on open source libraries and tools that extend the functionality of Firebase for users world-wide.
