About
Cloud Functions for Firebase is a serverless backend platform that lets developers run application logic without provisioning or managing servers. It supports event-driven execution from Firebase products, HTTPS requests, the Admin SDK, and Cloud Scheduler jobs.
The service is designed to help teams build secure, scalable backend workflows for mobile and web apps. Functions can respond to database changes, authentication events, analytics conversions, and other triggers while remaining isolated from client-side code.
- Event-driven functions for Firebase and Google Cloud triggers
- Managed serverless execution environment
- Automatic scaling based on demand
- Support for JavaScript and Python functions
- Private server-side logic that is not exposed to clients
Free Tier Value
The pricing page explicitly shows Cloud Functions under the Spark plan with no-cost quotas, and Blaze as pay-as-you-go with the same Spark quotas included. Because this is a capped recurring free tier, the conservative FTV is the value of the included free quotas, but the page does not provide enough concrete paid-rate detail here to reliably price all components from the page alone, so I’m leaving free_tier_value_usd_per_month null rather than fabricating a number. The page also states Spark requires no payment method, so no_cc_required is true.
What's included in the free tier
- No-cost up to 2 million Cloud Functions invocations per month.
- No-cost up to 400,000 GB-seconds of execution time per month.
- No-cost up to 200,000 CPU-seconds of execution time per month.
- No-cost up to 5 GB of outbound networking per month.
- No-cost up to 120 Cloud Build minutes per day.
- No-cost up to 500 MB of container storage in Artifact Registry.
See Cloud Functions for Firebase pricing for current limits.
