What’s New In Firestore From Cloud Next And Firebase Summit 2022

Developers love Firestore because of how fast they can build an application end to end. Over 4 million databases have been created in Firestore, and Firestore applications power more than 1 billion monthly active end users using Firebase Auth. We want to ensure developers can focus on productivity and enhanced developer experience, especially when their apps are experiencing hyper-growth. To achieve this, we’ve made updates to Firestore that are all aimed at developer experience, supporting growth and reducing costs. COUNT function We’ve rolled out the COUNT() function, which gives you the ability to perform cost-efficient, scalable, count aggregations. This capability…

Accelerating App Development Lifecycle With Managed Container Platforms, Firebase And CI/CD

We understand that for startups in the build phase, the highest priority task is to continuously ship features based on your users’ needs. There are three main focus areas when building applications: Development: When it comes to development, focus on tasks that make your app unique by offloading backend setup and processing to someone else. For example, instead of setting up your own API servers and managing backend services, Firebase offers a managed experience. Hosting: Once you’ve built your app, the next step is to host it. Containers have become the de facto way of packaging applications today. You can…

The Definitive Guide To Databases On Google Cloud: Part 2 – Options At A Glance

Isaac Newton said, “If I have seen farther than others it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants.” He meant that in order to explain the Law of Gravity, he used the work of major thinkers who came before him in order to make intellectual progress (as-in giving credit). In the 1640’s (yes, the time of the English Civil War and the start of the mini Ice Age), we can say the Age of Reason began and the word “data” was also (re)born in a way. Why? Hard to assert a specific reason, it could be apropos…

Using Performance Class To Optimize Your User Experience

Today we’re launching the Jetpack Core Performance library in alpha. This library enables you to easily understand what a device is capable of, and tailor your user experience accordingly. It does this by allowing you to obtain the device’s performance class on devices running Android 11 (API level 30) and above. A performance class is a ranking that reflects both a device’s level of performance and its overall capabilities. As such, it largely reflects the device’s hardware specifications, but also how it performs in certain real-world scenarios, verified by the Android Compatibility Test Suite. The performance class requirements currently focus on media use cases. For example, a Media…

JankStats Goes Alpha

JankStats Goes Alpha A library for chasing jank in the real world Jank (noun): Bad application performance which can result in missed frames, discontinuous UI motion, and bad user experience. See “unhappy users.” Debugging performance issues is… hard. Often, it’s not clear where to start, what tools to use, what problems users are having, or how those problems manifest on real world devices. The Android team has spent the past several years providing more tools to debug different parts of the problem, from analyzing startup performance to testing specific code paths to testing and optimizing particular use cases to visual profilers in the IDE. All of these…
