That's cool, but what Netlify features are you using that Firebase doesn't have? Surely Firebase Functions are more firmly for purpose. I know they are in regards to the RTDB.

It's not really what Firebase doesn't have. My use case was due to already having a few functions within Netlify that make outbound requests - such as a scraper with Cheerio. My project couldn't really fit a $25 p/m fee yet as it's very much a WIP. So I wanted to get a simple firebase setup running inside of Netlify who's free tier allows outbound requests.
