I have build apps with firebase in the past and the feature I missed the most was performing scheduled tasks on the database.
Now we are getting this BIG app platform update and this feature is still not in there. AWS Lambda with Scheduled Events for a long time to come :sad-panda:
- subpixel 10y agoDo Google Cloud Functions (referenced above) not fit that bill? https://cloud.google.com/functions/ https://cloud.google.com/functions/ I'm also keen to use Firebase without having to run a separate server to handle logic for payments, email alerts on search terms, etc.
- fahrradflucht 10y agoLast time I checked it was impossible to do scheduled tasks. But it's in alpha stage, so maybe that's coming.
- hornbaker 10y agoBig +1 from me, as I'm working on a large Web app with Firebase and continually hit blocks where I need server logic/events. Read the announcement full of hope, then felt let down. What's the point of BaaS if you still need another B to power it?
