Clarification: GAE Standard uses the Endpoints framework, which is Python and Java only ( https://cloud.google.com/endpoints/docs/frameworks/about-clo... ). Sorry for the confusion. Flex uses ESP ( https:/

(GAE PM) Cloud Endpoints currently runs on GAE Standard Gen 1 and GAE Flex. We're investigating a solution for GAE Standard Gen 2 (which go 1.11 is, along with python 3.7, node 8, etc.) and GCF.

What I've found people really want when they say "serverless" in this context is, "direct file upload without a proxy server", which is basically what BaaS' like Firebase and Parse do... <pitch> Firebase

Firebase team member here, Anything specific you'd like to let us know about? Definitely agree that it hasn't been the smoothest transition--it's super hard to provide 24/7 support to hundreds of thousands of developers.

The approach Firebase takes can be summarized as, "make the 90% use cases simple, and make the complicated 10% possible." Tradeoffs are a core engineering concept, so I think this comes as no surprise to seasoned engineers (the mo

+1000 to this. The "API" that developers see is the tip of the iceberg for what actually goes into publicly exposing a service to developers. Yes there's quite a bit of internal maintenance that goes on (as mentioned, lots of

People say that Google has a "Darwinian" product development process, where they pitch products against each other and only the "strong" products survive. I think most of the product fragmentation/churn at Google co

I don't think I ever said it wasn't code, I said it wasn't "backend code". We've exchanged some config (sure, basically an AST) for writing some express/django/rails middleware. I'd much rather c

When you're building a serverless framework with the goal of direct client access to managed infrastructure without writing server side code, rules languages like this are an awesome tool to have. You need to: authenticate users, autho

by asciimike 10y ago
Firebase uses rules like this for authN/Z checks, schema validation, and enforcing business logic. One of our DSLs is JSON based ( https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/security/ ), while the other is

Sure, but what if you're building a serverless framework or other multi-tenant system and the goal is for an external developer to not write backend code? You need a compact way to represent and evaluate authentication and authorizat

I'd love some more feedback on the Rules (disclosure, I'm an engineer on that team). JSON was originally picked since it felt closely aligned with Firebase (JSON data => JSON rules), but as we started building more into them (i

Firebase engineer here: BaaS (and "serverless" in general) mean that since you don't control your database/storage/servers/etc. you no longer have the ability to implement your own custom Authentication and Aut
