Deploying API #17

Closed Programmer-RD-AI closed 4 months ago

Programmer-RD-AI commented 4 months ago

Hi everyone,

We're currently working on deploying an Express.js API using Firebase Hosting. However, we've run into a bit of a roadblock as Firebase Hosting primarily supports static content and serverless functions, rather than full-fledged Express.js applications.

We're exploring various deployment strategies, including:

Using Firebase Cloud Functions for individual endpoints. Deploying the Express.js application on other platforms like Heroku, AWS, or Google Cloud Platform. Setting up a reverse proxy with Firebase Hosting to route API requests to the Express.js application. We'd greatly appreciate your insights and experiences on this matter. Have you encountered a similar challenge in the past? How did you approach it? What deployment strategy did you find most effective?

Feel free to share your thoughts, recommendations, or any alternative solutions you've come across. Your expertise will help us make an informed decision on the best way to deploy our Express.js API alongside Firebase Hosting.
