Cloud Functions for Firebase - Run your mobile backend code without managing servers

(Cloud Functions for Firebase PM here) We’ve been developing this product for years, and we’ve had it in private alpha testing for well over a year, so we’re incredibly excited to finally take the wrappings off and let all of you try it. 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. We think you’re going to love it, and we can’t wait to see what you build with it!

Bam, server side scripting now possible in Firebase! Now, literally anything is possible without leaving their service!

been using it as part of the preview. If you thought Firebase was a gamechanger (and it is) wait to you see how well Firebase Cloud Functions can sew together Google Cloud services, react to events in the Firebase DB etc..

Epic - time to ditch the server 😀 I hope the documentation is as good as the rest of Firebase's. Looking forward to seeing some demos on their YouTube channel too - for a front-end noob to pick-up and start tinkering!

YES!! I've been wanting this forever! Congrats to Firebase & Google!

I'm in love with 🔥base. This is awesome. Can't wait to start moving server-side code here.

I can't wait to terminate my server and go serverless!!! THANKS FIREBASE!!!

Was thinking if there was a counterpart of Parse cloud function and there it is!

This is just awesome... I was building a node server to implement push notifications for firebase. Now that this is out, Im gonna move to cloud functions. Saved me a ton of time. ( And even money hosting ?) Anyway, pls pls pls don't bail on us like "Parse". I don't mind even paying an extra to keep it alive.
