It definitely doesn’t have to be that way. I work on Firebase and I’ve spent most of the last year specifically working on our local development experience for our serverless backend products: https://firebase.google.com/docs/emulator-suite

Still very actively working on this but our goal is that nobody ever has to test via deploy again.

Love firebase, thanks for your work! the local emulator suite is so important a feature and keenly following your progress.

Slightly OT... perhaps cheeky... any idea why firebase doesn’t provide automated backups for firestore and storage out of the box? Seems like a no brainer and a valuable service people would pay for.

We're working on Firestore backups. Haven't heard many people ask for Storage backups though ... so I don't think that's on the roadmap at the moment.

I'm currently working on a little project backed by Firebase. Really interesting. Good to hear you're doing this - at my day job one of our key factors in choosing a technology is whether we can spin it up in docker-compose in CI and do real-as-possible ephemeral integration tests.
