Cloud Functions for Firebase vs Google Cloud Functions: What are the differences?
Developers describe Cloud Functions for Firebase as "Run your mobile backend code without managing servers". Cloud Functions for Firebase lets you create functions that are triggered by Firebase products, such as changes to data in the Realtime Database, uploads to Cloud Storage, new user sign ups via Authentication, and conversion events in Analytics. On the other hand, Google Cloud Functions is detailed as "A serverless environment to build and connect cloud services". Construct applications from bite-sized business logic billed to the nearest 100 milliseconds, only while your code is running.
Cloud Functions for Firebase and Google Cloud Functions can be primarily classified as "Serverless / Task Processing" tools.
According to the StackShare community, Cloud Functions for Firebase has a broader approval, being mentioned in 46 company stacks & 32 developers stacks; compared to Google Cloud Functions, which is listed in 55 company stacks and 21 developer stacks.
Run cloud service containers instead of cloud-native services
- Running containers means that your microservices are not "cooked" into a cloud provider's architecture.
- Moving from one cloud to the next means that you simply spin up new instances of your containers in the new cloud using that cloud's container service.
- Start redirecting your traffic to the new resources.
- Turn off the containers in the cloud you migrated from.
