Firebase News #4 ☃
The best (well, I think so) Google Firebase news and articles
Welcome to the fourth edition of Firebase News. Every week we have a new record-high of readers, so thank you all for sharing and promoting. Not only do we enjoy helping the community, but we also learn a lot just by creating this newsletter.
As I mentioned last week, I had a big concern about my Firebase costs, so my partner and I decided to do something about it and built Firemon. With Firemon, you can monitor your Firebase usage, costs, and project what your monthly spend will be. Right now we have a waitlist, so can sign up if your interested. We absolutely welcome your feedback!
Now onto the news…
