Ultimately I think you'll learn a lot from any of the big three, but in my personal opinion Firebase Functions (really just a thin wrapper around Google Cloud Functions) will get you parsing request/response with the least amount of friction. So if you really just want to learn the ins and outs of cloud funcs/async models it'll get you in to code really quickly. e.g. - npm i -g firebase-cli firebase login firebase init // Modify index.js firebase deploy --only functions
