Cloud Functions for Firebase - Pros: Aligns to my app which uses Firebase; Cons: have to use Typescript which I have no experience with. Source: about 1 year ago

Cloud Functions run on Google's servers and are part of your project, so only you and your project collaborators can deploy that code. Source: over 1 year ago

That would be a Firebase Cloud Function. Check their latest list of YouTube tutorials, they'll guide you through creating an app with full Firebase features. Source: over 1 year ago
