Google Cloud Functions can be integrated with Firebase to create serverless applications. This integration allows developers to run backend code in response to Firebase events triggered by changes in Firestore, user authentication, or analytics events.
The benefits of this integration include scalability and cost-effectiveness. Google Cloud Functions automatically scales up computing resources as the demand increases, ensuring that the application performs consistently even during peak usage times. It also follows a pay-as-you-go model, meaning you only pay for the compute time you use.
Moreover, it enhances productivity as developers can focus on building features without worrying about managing servers. The integration also provides real-time updates, which means any change in data is immediately reflected across all connected devices.
