walkerOS Firebase Stack

Overview

The Firebase Stack is a specialized stack designed to work seamlessly with Firebase's suite of backend services. It provides a robust yet simple, scalable, and secure way to manage your event data within the Firebase ecosystem by using a single funcion.

Why Choose the Firebase Stack?

Seamless Integration

The Firebase Stack offers a simple yet fully scalable solution for reliably ingesting and processing your event data. With full control over your data pipeline and high availability, it's not only robust but also easy to use and maintain.

Features

• Event Reception: Receives incoming events from walkerOS clients.
• Data Validation: Ensures incoming data meets your predefined schemas.
• Event Processing: Enriches and transforms data before sending it to its final destination.

How to Implement

There is a demo implementation available.

1. Initial Setup:

$ npm install @elbwalker/stack-firebase

import { firebaseStack } from '@elbwalker/stack-firebase';

const { elb, push } = firebaseStack({
  // customConfig
});

2. Configuration:

The config is optional and supports the following settings:

// See type FirebaseStack.PartialConfig
const customConfig = {
  client: {}, // See NodeClient.PartialConfig from node-client
  firebase: {}, // See AppOptions from firebase-admin
};

The client object configures the in-built node-client where you can define a name, destination settings, globals, contracs, etc.

The firebase object are the original AppOptions from the official firebase SDK. Specify credentials, a projectId, or other setting.

3. Development:

Run firebase emulators:start to setup a local version of the stack and test its behavior.

4. Deployment:

$ firebase deploy --only functions:FUNCTION_NAME --project Y0UR_PR0J3CT1D

Start sending events to the endpoint.

Requirements

• Firebase project
• walkerOS client with an API destination
