Note to moderators: this is <i>not</i> a dup of the the other Cloud Functions post on the front page. The Firebase integration is an extended offering with additional features.
(Cloud Functions for Firebase PM here)<p>We’ve been developing this product for quite some time, and we’ve had it in private alpha testing for well over a year. We’re incredibly excited to finally take the wrappings off and let all of you try it.<p>Firebase has always focused on empowering you all to build extraordinary experiences for your users, without needing to worry about building common infrastructure. While we’ve made big strides towards this vision in the past, we always had one big hole: trusted code execution. Today, we’re completing the story with Cloud Functions for Firebase so that you can easily run server-side code in response to events from your Firebase app.<p>We think you’re going to love it, and we can’t wait to see what you build with it!<p>Non-Firebase related Cloud Functions discussion is here: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13831398" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13831398</a>
