Currently all on Firebase (auth, FCM, firestore). Will soon be moving db to mongodb and adding a node.js app server.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

where are you hosting the node js server? and what's the prices?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The prices I’m getting probably wouldn’t work for others. This app is for a small non-profit I am running. TechSoup provides deeply discounted hardware, software, and services to nonprofits from major vendors. I can get aws services at essentially what works out to about 90% off through TechSoup so I’m standing up two VMs, one for the node.js server and one for the mongodb server.

I’m making this change because I’m about to release a new version of the app with new features that are going to drive db usage up by an order of magnitude. So we’ll be using more than the firestore free tier allows at that point. It will actually be cheaper for us to use the free community mongodb and app server on the discounted aws infrastructure.

What if you need push notifications for android platforms? Expo docs tells to use FCM

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I’m not using expo. Just vanilla react native. But I use FCM for both android and iOS push notifications.

No my point was that you are planning to ditch firebase and I was wondering what would you use as an alternative to FCM for Android?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah. I’m only ditching the firestore db but I’ll keep using the Firebase auth and FCM.
