Honestly, this is the reason why I think Google's Firebase (and accompanying Firestore database) is absolute gold. Firebase handles all the complexity for you.

Honestly, this is the reason why I think Google's Firebase (and accompanying Firestore database) is absolute gold. Firebase handles all the complexity for you. You get a nice set of JS SDKs for auth, database, cloud functions, file storage and static hosting. And the best part is how damn cheap it is. No fussing with low-level Redis clusters or paying for things on the edge. It all 'just works' and it does it fast.
